Ezekiel 18:18

Context
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.

Daniel 2:9-13

Context
2:9 If you don’t inform me of the dream, there is only one thing that is going to happen to you. 1  For you have agreed among yourselves to report to me something false and deceitful 2  until such time as things might change. So tell me the dream, and I will have confidence 3  that you can disclose its interpretation.”

2:10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, 4  for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man. 2:11 What the king is asking is too difficult, and no one exists who can disclose it to the king, except for the gods – but they don’t live among mortals!” 5 

2:12 Because of this the king got furiously angry 6  and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 2:13 So a decree went out, and the wise men were about 7  to be executed. They also sought 8  Daniel and his friends so that they could be executed.
