1And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2What do you mean, that you keep repeating this proverb in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?”

3As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no longer be used by you in Israel.

4Look, every life belongs to me. The life of the father is like the life of the son—both belong to me. The person who sins is the one who will die.
