Ezekiel 18:10-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 “Now suppose the man has a violent son, who sheds blood(A) and does any of these things, 11 though the father has done none of them. Indeed, when the son eats at the mountain shrines and defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12 and when he oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, and does not return collateral, and when he raises his eyes to the idols, commits detestable acts,(B) 13 and lends at interest or for profit, will he live? He will not live! Since he has committed all these detestable acts, he will certainly die. His blood will be on him.(C)
14 “Now suppose he has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do likewise. 15 He does not eat at the mountain shrines or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife. 16 He doesn’t oppress anyone, hold collateral, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing. 17 He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practices My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.
18 “As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.(D)

Ezekiel 18:10-18
New International Version
10 “Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood(A) or does any of these other things[a] 11 (though the father has done none of them):
“He eats at the mountain shrines.(B)
He defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 He oppresses the poor(C) and needy.
He commits robbery.
He does not return what he took in pledge.(D)
He looks to the idols.
He does detestable things.(E)
13 He lends at interest and takes a profit.(F)
Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.(G)
14 “But suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things:(H)
15 “He does not eat at the mountain shrines(I)
or look to the idols(J) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry(K)
and provides clothing for the naked.(L)
17 He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor
and takes no interest or profit from them.
He keeps my laws(M) and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
