Ezekiel 18:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ “As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.^{(A) 19} But you may ask, ‘Why doesn’t the son suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity?’^(B) Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all My statutes, he will certainly live. ²⁰ The person who sins is the one who will die.^(C) A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity.^(D) The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him,^(E) and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him.^(F)
