Ezekiel 18:17 in Context — Ezekiel 18

15 si ce fils ne mange pas sur les montagnes et ne lève pas les yeux vers les idoles de la maison d’Israël, s’il ne déshonore pas la femme de son prochain,

16 s’il n’opprime personne, s’il ne prend point de gage, s’il ne commet point de rapines, s’il donne son pain à celui qui a faim et couvre d’un vêtement celui qui est nu,

17 s’il détourne sa main de l’iniquité, s’il n’exige ni intérêt ni usure, s’il observe mes ordonnances et suit mes lois, celui-là ne mourra pas pour l’iniquité de son père; il vivra.

18 C’est son père, qui a été un oppresseur, qui a commis des rapines envers les autres, qui a fait au milieu de son peuple ce qui n’est pas bien, c’est lui qui mourra pour son iniquité.

19 Vous dites: Pourquoi le fils ne porte-t-il pas l’iniquité de son père? C’est que le fils a agi selon la droiture et la justice, c’est qu’il a observé et mis en pratique toutes mes lois; il vivra.
