New Testament

Ezekiel 18:6-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. and has not eaten on the mountains;nor has he lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,nor has he defiled his neighbor’s wife,nor has he approached a woman during her impurity;

7. and he has not oppressed anyone,but has restored to the debtor his pledge;has devastated no one by violence,has given his bread to the hungry,and has covered the naked with a garment;

8. if he has not lent at interest,nor has taken any increase,but has withdrawn his hand from iniquity,has executed true justice between man and man;

9. has walked in My statutes,and has kept My judgments to deal truly,he is righteousand shall surely live,says the Lord God.

10. If he begets a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any of these things to a brother

11. (though he himself does not do any of these things), but even has eaten on the mountain shrinesand defiled his neighbor’s wife;

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.
