EZEKIEL 18:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.”
The righteous son refrains from iniquity, does not lend at interest or take profit, keeps God's rules and walks in His statutes, and will surely live because of these righteous deeds. Despite paternal wickedness and the corrupting influence of growing up in an unjust household, the son's commitment to righteousness ensures his life. The promise of life represents God's blessing on personal righteousness independent of familial status.
