who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

Judged by Your Own Life
All commentators agree that this verse's core message is about individual responsibility. God judges each person based on their own actions, not their family's. A righteous child of a wicked parent will not be punished for the father's sins but will be rewarded for their own righteous living. This directly refutes the fatalistic proverb that children suffer for their parents' choices.
