Ezekiel 18:17-19
New English Translation

17 refrains from wrongdoing,[a] does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations, and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity;[b] he will surely live. 18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.

19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not suffer[c] for his father’s iniquity?’ When the son does what is just and right, and observes all my statutes and carries them out, he will surely live.
