Ezekiel

Ezekiel 18:10–13

¹⁰Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things, ¹¹though the father has done none of them:

Indeed, the son eats at the mountain

and defiles his neighbor’s wife.

¹²He oppresses the poor and needy;

he commits robbery

and does not restore a pledge.

He lifts his eyes to idols;

he commits abominations.

¹³He 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.
