Ezekiel 18:10

10 quod si genuerit filium latronem effundentem sanguinem et fecerit unum de istis

Ezekiel 18:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:10

If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood
But if this just man beget a son that is a thief and a murderer, as he may; for grace is not conveyed by natural generation, though sin is: a good man has often bad children, even such as are guilty of capital crimes, as a "robber", a "highwayman", a "breaker up", or "through", as the word F5 signifies; one that breaks through walls, and into houses, and breaks through all the laws of God and man; and sticks not to shed innocent blood in committing his thefts and robberies, as these sins often go together; such an one was Barabbas, whose name signifies the son of a father, and perhaps his father might be a good man: and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things];
or that does anyone of these things, whether theft or murder.
