1. the Lord’s word came to me again, saying,
2. “What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning Eretz-Israel, saying,‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
3. “As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.
4. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.
