Old Testament

New Testament

Ezekiel 18:12-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. has oppressed the poor and needy,has devastated by violence,has not restored the pledge,and has lifted up his eyes to the idols,has committed abomination,

13. has lent at interest, and has taken increase, shall he then live?He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood shall be upon his own head.

14. Now if he begets a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and considering does not do likewise:

15. He has not eaten on the mountain shrines,nor has he lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,has not defiled his neighbor’s wife;

16. nor has he oppressed anyone,has not withheld a pledge,nor has he devastated by violence,but has given his bread to the hungry,and has covered the naked with a garment;

17. he keeps his hand from the poor,has not received usury nor increase,has executed My judgments, and has walked in My statutes.He shall not die for the iniquity of his father; he shall surely live.
