Ezekiel 18:1-4 (to :) or (to 2nd .)

1The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying, 2What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge? 3As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 4Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:

Ezekiel 18:1-4 (to:) KJV

1The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: 2“What do you mean by using this saying about the land of Israel:‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, and that caused the children to grind their teeth from the sour taste’? 3“As surely as I live, says the Lord God, this is true: You will not use this saying in Israel anymore. 4 Every living thing belongs to me. The life of the parent is mine, and the life of the child is mine.
