1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “What do you mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers, they ate unripe fruit, and the teeth of the child became blunt.’
3 As I live, declares the Lord Yahweh, it will surely not any longer be appropriate for you to quote this proverb in Israel!
4 Look! All lives are mine. The lives of father and son alike are mine. The person sinning will die.
