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.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, devastated his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, he shall die for his iniquity.
19 Yet you say, “Why should the son not bear the punishment of the iniquity of the father?” When the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the punishment of the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the punishment of the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
21 But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all My statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he has committed, they shall not be remembered against him. Because of his righteousness that he has done, he shall live.
