Esekiel 18,16

JusticeGenerosityPoverty and the vulnerable

14 "Anta nå at denne mannen har en sønn som ser alle de syndene som hans far har gjort; han ser, og gjør ikke likedan:

15 han spiser ikke ved fjellhelligdommene eller løfter sine øyne til Israels hus’ avguder, gjør ikke sin nabos hustru uren,

undertrykker ingen, tar ikke pant, begår ikke ran, men gir sitt brød til den sultne og dekker den nakne med klær,

17 holder sin hånd fra urett, tar ingen rente eller fortjeneste, adlyder mine lover og vandrer i mine forskrifter; han skal ikke dø for sin fars misgjerning; han skal sannelig leve.

18 Når det gjelder hans far, fordi han drev utpressing, ranet sin bror, og handlet urettferdig blant sitt folk, skal han dø for sin urett.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
