Ezekiel 18:1-4

God Deals Justly with Individuals

¹Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“What do you people mean by using this proverb about the land of Israel, saying,

‘The fathers eat sour grapes,

But it is the children’s teeth that have become blunt’?

³As I live,” declares the Lord God, “you certainly are not going to use this proverb in Israel anymore. ⁴Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.
