Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul that sins, it shall die. But if a man be just, and does that which is lawful and right. And has not eaten upon the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor has defiled his neighbor's wife, nor has come near to a woman in her impurity, and has not wronged any man, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to a hungry man, and has covered a naked man with a garment, he who has not given forth upon interest, nor has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed TRUE justice between man and man, has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly, he is just. He shall surely live, says lord LORD. If he begets a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things, and who does not do any of those [duties], but has even eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife, has wronged the poor and needy man, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination, has given forth upon interest, and has taken increase, shall he then live?

Yet say ye, Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of a righteous man shall be upon him, and the wickedness of a wicked man shal
