1 The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
2 “What do you mean by using this saying about the land of Israel:‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes.And that caused the children to grind their teeth from the sour taste’?
3 “As surely as I live, says the Lord God, this is true: You will not use this saying in Israel anymore.
4 Every living thing belongs to me. The life of the father is mine. And the life of the son is mine. The person who sins will die.
5 “There may be a good person. This person does what is fair and right.
