Deuteronomy 24:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Fathers must not be put to death when their children do wrong. And children must not be put to death when their fathers do wrong. Each person must die for his own sin.

¹⁷ Do not be unfair to a foreigner or an orphan. Don’t take a widow’s coat in place of a loan. ¹⁸ Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. And the Lord your God saved you from there. That is why I am commanding you to do this.
