Ezekiel 18:5-13

5“Suppose there is a righteous man who does what is just and right.

6He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.

7He does not oppress anyone, but returns what he took in pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked.

8He does not lend to them at interest or take a profit from them. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between two parties.

9He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my laws. That man is righteous; he will surely live, declares the Sovereign LORD . 10“Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these other things Or things to a brother

11(though the father has done none of them): “He eats at the mountain shrines. He defiles his neighbor’s wife.

12He oppresses the poor and needy. He commits robbery. He does not return what he took in pledge. He looks to the idols. He does detestable things.

13He lends at interest and takes a profit. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.
