2 "What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel:
‘The fathers eat sour grapes, 18:2 Lm 5:7
and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? 18:2 Jr 31:29
3 As I live" — this is the declaration of the Lord God — "you will no longer use this proverb in Israel. 18:3 Ezk 12:234 Look, every life belongs to me. 18:4 Nm 16:22; 27:16 The life of the father is like the life of the son — both belong to me. The person who sins is the one who will die. 18:4 Dt 24:16; Ezk 18:20; Rm 6:23
20 The person who sins is the one who will die. 18:20 Ezk 18:4 A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. 18:20 Dt 24:16; Jn 9:2 The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, 18:20 Is 3:10–11 and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him. 18:20 Rm 2:6–9
