Ezekiel 18:19 in Context — Ezekiel 18
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.
20 L’âme qui pèche, c’est celle qui mourra. Le fils ne portera pas l’iniquité de son père, et le père ne portera pas l’iniquité de son fils. La justice du juste sera sur lui, et la méchanceté du méchant sera sur lui.
21 Si le méchant revient de tous les péchés qu’il a commis, s’il observe toutes mes lois et pratique la droiture et la justice, il vivra, il ne mourra pas.
