¹⁶ `Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers -- each for his own sin, they are put to death.

²⁰ The soul that doth sin -- it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.

⁴ and their sons he hath not put to death, but `did' as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'

²⁹ In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.

³⁰ But -- each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.

⁵ And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting the king his father,

⁶ and the sons of those smiting `him' he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.'
