Bible verse
Now suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, considers them, and does not do likewise:
Ezekiel 18:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 18.
10 Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things,
11 though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
13 He engages in usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
14 Now suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, considers them, and does not do likewise:
15 He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 He does not oppress another, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
17 He withholds his hand from harming the poor and takes no interest or usury. He keeps My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a man will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will surely live.
18 As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.
