1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge’?
3 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
5 Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:
6 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 or approach a woman during her period.
