Ezekiel 18:7-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. If he has not oppressed anyone,But has restored to the debtor his pledge;Has robbed no one by violence,But has given his bread to the hungryAnd covered the naked with clothing;

8. If he has not exacted usuryNor taken any increase,But has withdrawn his hand from iniquityAnd executed true judgment between man and man;

9. If he has walked in My statutesAnd kept My judgments faithfully—He is just;He shall surely live!”Says the Lord God.

10. “If he begets a son who is a robberOr a shedder of blood,Who does any of these things

11. And does none of those duties,But has eaten on the mountainsOr defiled his neighbor’s wife;

12. If he has oppressed the poor and needy,Robbed by violence,Not restored the pledge,Lifted his eyes to the idols,Or committed abomination;

13. If he has exacted usuryOr taken increase—Shall he then live?He shall not live!If he has done any of these abominations,He shall surely die;His blood shall be upon him.

14. “If, however, he begets a sonWho sees all the sins which his father has done,And considers but does not do likewise;

15. Who has not eaten on the mountains,Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
