Ezekiel 18:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ But his father shall die for his own sins because he is cruel and robs and does wrong.

¹⁹ “‘What?’ you ask. ‘Doesn’t the son pay for his father’s sins?’ No! For if the son does what is right and keeps my laws, he shall surely live. ²⁰ The one who sins is the one who dies. The son shall not be punished for his father’s sins, nor the father for his son’s. The righteous person will be rewarded for his own goodness and the wicked person for his wickedness.
