Ezekiel 18:5-9

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Reflect upon a virtuous man
    who does what is lawful and right.
⁶ He does not eat^[a] on the mountains
    or lift up his eyes
    to the idols of the house of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife
    or have relations with a woman
    during her menstrual period.
⁷ He does not oppress anyone
    but returns his pledge to a debtor.
He does not commit robbery
    but gives his food to the hungry
    and his clothes to those who are naked.
⁸ He does not lend money for profit
    or charge interest.
He refrains from evildoing
    and judges fairly between a man and his opponent.
⁹ He obeys my laws
    and is careful to observe my ordinances.
Such a man is righteous;
    he shall surely live,
    says the Lord God.
