Ezekiel 18:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ “Yet^[a] you say, ‘Why does the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ And since the son does justice and righteousness and he keeps all of my statutes and does them, he shall surely live! ²⁰ The person,^[b] the one sinning, will die. A son shall not bear the guilt of the father, and a father shall not bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him; the wickedness of the wicked^[c] shall be on him. ²¹ But if the wicked returns from all of his sins^[d] that he has done and he keeps all of my statutes and he does justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die!
