Ezekiel 18:20

18:20 The person who sins is the one who will die. A son will not suffer ¹  for his father’s iniquity, and a father will not suffer ²  for his son’s iniquity; the righteous person will be judged according to his righteousness, and the wicked person according to his wickedness. ³ 

Ezekiel 18:24

18:24 “But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die. ⁴ 

Ezekiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you ⁵  –

to place that sword ⁶  on the necks of the profane wicked, ⁷ 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

[18:20]  ¹ tn Heb “lift up, bear.”

[18:20]  ² tn Heb “lift up, bear.”

[18:20]  ³ tn Heb “the righteousness of the righteous one will be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked one will be upon him.”

[18:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “because of them he will die.”

[21:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ⁹ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
