Verse 12 is found in chapter 18 of Ezekiel. The righteous son of a wicked father does not automatically bear his father’s guilt, while a son who repeats wickedness will be responsible for his own actions. God’s justice is presented as impartial and morally coherent. A person’s ancestry does not inevitably determine their spiritual destiny.

die Armen und Elenden beschädigt, mit Gewalt etwas nimmt, das Pfand nicht wiedergibt, seine Augen zu den Götzen aufhebt und einen Greuel begeht,
Al pobre y menesteroso oprimiere, cometiere robos, no tornare la prenda, o alzare sus ojos a los ídolos, e hiciere abominación,
oprime al pobre y al necesitado, comete robos, no devuelve la prenda, alza los ojos hacia los ídolos, comete abominaciones,
s'il opprime le malheureux et l'indigent, s'il commet des rapines, s'il ne rend pas le gage, s'il lève les yeux vers les idoles et fait des abominations,
ed oppressi il povero, e il bisognoso, e faccia rapine, e non renda il pegno, e levi gli occhi agl’idoli, e commetta abbominazione;
Oprimir ao pobre e necessitado, praticar roubos, não tornar o penhor, e levantar os seus olhos para os ídolos, e cometer abominação,
虧負困苦和貧窮的人,搶奪別人的物件,不歸還抵押品,卻向偶像舉目,做可憎的事;
