Ezekiel 18:2-4

MSG

NIV

2 "What do you people mean by going around the country repeating the saying, The parents ate green apples, The children got stomachache?
2 “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: “ ‘The parents eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
3 "As sure as I'm the living God, you're not going to repeat this saying in Israel any longer.
3 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel.
4 Every soul - man, woman, child - belongs to me, parent and child alike. You die for your own sin, not another's.
4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die.
