"If he now get a son, that is a murderer, a shedder of blood: if he do one of these things - though he do not all - he eateth upon the hills; he defileth his neighbour's wife; he grieveth the poor and needy; he robbeth and spoileth; he giveth not the debtor his pledge again; he lifteth up his eyes unto Idols, and meddle with abominable things; he lendeth upon usury, and taketh moreover. Shall this man live? He shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die: his blood shall be upon him. Now if this man get a son also, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doth such like: Namely, he eateth not upon the mountains; he lifteth not his eyes up to the Idols of Israel; he defileth not his neighbour's wife; he vexeth no man; he keepeth no man's pledge, he neither spoileth, nor robbeth any man; he dealeth his meat with the hungry; he clotheth the naked; he opresseth not the poor; he receiveth no usury, nor anything over; he keepeth my laws, and walketh in my commandments: this man shall not die in his father's sin, but shall live without fail. As for his father, because he oppressed and spoiled his brother, and did wickedly among his people: Lo, he is dead in his own sin. And yet say ye, 'Wherefore then should not this son bear his father's sin?' Therefore, because the son hath done equity and right, hath kept all my commandments and done them: therefore shall he live indeed. The soul that sinneth, she shall die.

None of the sins that he hath done shall be reckoned unto him: In the righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. For I desire not the death of a sinner, saith the Lord Jehovah, but rather that he should turn from his way, and live. And so if a righteous turn from his righteousness and do wickedness, and shall do like unto all the abominations which a wicked doth, shall he live? No, none of those righteousness that he did shall be remembered. But in the wickedness which he wrought, and in the sin which he did, in them shall he die. But you will say, 'The way of the Lord is not equal.' Here I pray you, ye house of Israel. Is not my way equal? If a righteous turn from his righteousness and do wickedly, and die therefore: in the wickedness which he did he shall die. And when a wicked turneth from his wickedness and doth justly and righteously, he shall save his soul: because he feared and turned from all his wickedness which he did, he shall live and not die, saith the Lord almighty. And yet sayeth the house of Israel, 'Tush, the way of the LORD is not equal.' Are my ways unright, O ye house of Israel? Are not your ways rather unequal? "As for me, I will judge every man, according to his ways, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the LORD God. Wherefore be converted, and turn you clean from all your wickedness, so shall there no sin do you harm.
