2 Chronicles 25:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.

³ And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.

⁴ But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
