Ezekiel 18:9-17 World English Bible (WEB)

9. has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord Yahweh.

10. “If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,

11. or who does not do any of those things, but even has eaten at the mountain shrines, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,

12. has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,

13. has lent on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood shall be on him.

14. “Now, behold, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father’s sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;

15. who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,

16. neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

17. who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
