Ezekiel 18:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ He never cheats or robs anyone and always returns anything taken as security for a loan; he gives food and clothes to the poor ⁸ and doesn't charge interest when lending money. He refuses to do anything evil; he is fair to everyone ^9 (A) and faithfully obeys my laws and teachings. This man is good, and I promise he will live.
