Ezekiel 18:4

The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,

“What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying,

‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,

and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.

“But if a man is just,

and does that which is lawful and right,

and has not eaten on the mountains,

hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,

hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,

hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity,

and has not wronged any,

but has restored to the debtor his pledge,

has taken nothing by robbery,

has given his bread to the hungry,

and has covered the naked with a garment;
