YAHWEH spoke to me again, saying, “Why do you keep repeating this proverb in the land of Israel: “The parents have eaten sour grapes, but the children are the ones with the sour taste in their mouths? “As I, Lord YAHWEH, live, you will have no reason to repeat this proverb in Israel. Listen, every human life belongs to me; both the parent and the child are mine. The one who sins is held responsible and will die.” “Suppose a man is morally good, and his actions are righteous and honest. He does not take part in the heathen feasts on the mountains nor worship the false gods of the people of Israel. He does not commit adultery nor have sex with a woman during her period. He exploits and defrauds no one. He does not steal but generously feeds the hungry and clothes the needy. He does not lend at interest or take any profit. He refuses to do anything evil and gives honest judgment between one person and another. He keeps my laws and is honest in all that he does. A person like this is righteous, and he will certainly live. I, Lord YAHWEH, have decreed it.
