¹⁶ You must not punish fathers with death for the sins that their children do. You must not punish children with death for the sins that their fathers do. Each person must die only because of his own sins.

¹⁷ Remember to be completely fair to foreigners and to children who have no family. If you lend money to a widow, do not take her coat as a guarantee. ¹⁸ Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you to do these things.
