Ezekiel 18:5–9

⁵Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

⁶He 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.

⁷He does not oppress another,

but restores the pledge to the debtor.

He does not commit robbery,

but gives his bread to the hungry

and covers the naked with clothing.

⁸He does not engage in usury

or take excess interest,

but he withholds his hand from iniquity

and executes true justice between men.

⁹He follows My statutes

and faithfully keeps My ordinances.

That man is righteous;

surely he will live,

declares the Lord GOD.
