Ezekiel 18:14

18:14 “But suppose he in turn has a son who notices all the sins his father commits, considers them, and does not follow his father’s example. ¹ 

Ezekiel 18:17-18

18:17 refrains from wrongdoing, ²  does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity; ³  he will surely live. 18:18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.

Ezekiel 22:11

22:11 One ⁴  commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates ⁵  his sister – his father’s daughter ⁶  – within you.

¹ tn Heb “and he sees and does not do likewise.”

² tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

³ tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

³ tn Heb “a man.”

⁴ tn The verb is the same one used in verse 10b and suggests forcible sexual violation of the woman.

⁵ sn Sexual relations with one’s half-sister may be primarily in view here. See Lev 18:9; 20:17.
