Ezequiel 18:5 In-Context

3 Yo, el SEÑOR omnipotente, juro por mí mismo que jamás se volverá a repetir este proverbio en Israel.

4 La persona que peque morirá. Sepan que todas las vidas me pertenecen, tanto la del padre como la del hijo.

5 »Quien es justo practica el derecho y la justicia;

6 no participa de los banquetes idolátricos en los cerros, ni eleva plegarias a los ídolos de Israel. No deshonra a la mujer de su prójimo, ni se une a la mujer en los días de su menstruación.

7 No oprime a nadie, ni roba, sino que devuelve la prenda al deudor, da de comer al hambriento y viste al desnudo.
