The Message
Ezekiel 18:15-18
The Message
14-17 “Now look: Suppose that this child has a child who sees all the sins done by his parent. The child sees them, but doesn’t follow in the parent’s footsteps—
doesn’t eat at the pagan shrines,
doesn’t worship the popular idols of Israel,
doesn’t seduce his neighbor’s spouse,
doesn’t bully anyone,
doesn’t refuse to loan money,
doesn’t steal,
doesn’t refuse food to the hungry,
doesn’t refuse to give clothes to the ill-clad,
doesn’t live by impulse and greed,
doesn’t exploit the poor.
He does what I say;
he performs my laws and lives by my statutes.
17-18 “This person will not die for the sins of the parent; he will live truly and well. But the parent will die for what the parent did, for the sins of—
oppressing the weak,
robbing brothers and sisters,
doing what is dead wrong in the community.
Ezekiel 18:15-17
New International Version
Ezekiel 18:15-17
New International Version
15 “He does not eat at the mountain shrines(A)
or look to the idols(B) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry(C)
and provides clothing for the naked.(D)
17 He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor
and takes no interest or profit from them.
He keeps my laws(E) and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live.
