Ezekiel 18:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ He does not lend money to someone and then ask to receive more money back. He refuses to do anything that is wrong. He helps people in a way that is right and fair. ⁹ He faithfully obeys my laws and my rules.

A man like that is righteous. He will continue to live. That is what the Almighty Lord says.

¹⁰ But that man may have a son who is cruel and violent. He may kill other people. He may do those bad things that his father never did.
