Ezekiel 18:2-4

New Catholic Bible

²Why do you insist on repeating this proverb in the land of Israel:

The parents have eaten sour grapes,
and their children’s teeth are set on edge?

³As I live, says the Lord God, you will no longer repeat this proverb in Israel. ⁴Do not forget that all lives are mine. The life of the father and the life of the son are both mine. Only the person who sins shall die.
