If he wrongfully oppressed or robbed his brother and did what wasn't good among his people, he'll die because of his own sin." 19 "Yet you keep asking, "Why wouldn't the son bear the punishment of his father's sin?' Because the son has done what was lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes and obeyed them, he's certainly going to live.
