Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

Verse 13 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.

auf Wucher gibt, Zins nimmt: sollte der Leben? Er soll nicht leben, sondern weil er solche Greuel alle getan hat, soll er des Todes sterben; sein Blut soll auf ihm sein.
Diere a usura, y recibiere aumento: ¿vivirá éste? No vivirá. Todas estas abominaciones hizo; de cierto morirá; su sangre será sobre él.
presta a interés y cobra recargos, ¿vivirá? ¡No vivirá! Ha cometido todas estas abominaciones: ciertamente se le dará muerte; su sangre recaerá sobre él.
S'il prête à intérêt et tire une usure, ce fils-là vivrait! Il ne vivra pas; il a commis toutes ces abominations; qu'il meure! que son sang retombe sur lui!
e presti ad usura, e prenda vantaggio; viverà egli? egli non viverà; egli ha fatte tutte queste cose abbominevoli; egli di certo sarà fatto morire; il suo sangue sarà sopra lui.
E emprestar com usura, e receber demais, porventura viverá? Não viverá. Todas estas abominações ele fez, certamente morrerá; o seu sangue será sobre ele.
向人取利息,索取高利,這人豈能存活呢?他不能存活。他因做這一切可憎的事,必要死亡,他的血要歸到自己身上。
