Deuteronomy 24:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ Fathers may not be put to death for the sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

¹⁷ You must not pervert the justice of the foreigner or of the fatherless, nor take a widow’s cloak as a pledge. ¹⁸ On the contrary, you must remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you there. Therefore, I command you to do this.
