Deuteronomy 24:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 Parents must not be put to death because of what their children do. And children must not be put to death because of what their parents do. People must die because of their own sins.
17 Do what is right and fair for outsiders and for children whose fathers have died. Suppose a widow borrows something from you. And she offers to give you her coat until she pays you back. Don’t take it. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. Remember that the Lord your God set you free from there. That’s why I’m commanding you to do those things.

Deuteronomy 24:16-18
New International Version
16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.(A)
17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless(B) of justice,(C) or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt(D) and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
