THE SOUL THAT SINNED SHALL DIE
Ezekiel 18:1-8
[1]The Lord spoke to me
[2]and said, “What is this proverb people keep repeating in the land of Israel? ‘The parents ate the sour grapes, But the children got the sour taste.’
[3]“As surely as I am the living God,” says the Sovereign Lord, “you will not repeat this proverb in Israel any more.
[4]The life of every person belongs to me, the life of the parent as well as that of the child. The person who sins is the one who will die.
[5]“Suppose there is a truly good man, righteous and honest.
[6]He doesn't worship the idols of the Israelites or eat the sacrifices offered at forbidden shrines. He doesn't seduce another man's wife or have in*******se with a woman during her period.
[7]He doesn't cheat or rob anyone. He returns what a borrower gives him as security; he feeds the hungry and gives clothing to the naked.
[8]He doesn't lend money for profit. He refuses to do evil and gives an honest decision in any dispute
