Ezekiel 18:10-13

If he The righteous man before described, who transmits his human nature, but cannot transmit his graces and virtues to his son; beget a son who is a robber, &c. Who is guilty of any of the evil practices above mentioned; and that doeth not any of those duties That lives in the neglect of the just and humane offices which have been mentioned, and which are commanded by the law; he hath committed abomination This may chiefly refer to the last two clauses of Ezekiel 18:6. He shall not live Namely, because of his father's righteousness. He shall not enjoy the divine favour and blessing here or hereafter: he shall not escape punishment; namely, unless he turn to God in true repentance and reformation, Ezekiel 18:21. He hath done, or, because he hath done, all these abominations Which have rendered him an object of the divine wrath; his blood shall be upon him He is the cause of his own destruction; the whole blame of it must lie at his own door.
