“What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel,
‘The parents eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?'
As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die.
But suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
Called to account
Contrary to popular, God is not so unjust as to punish one generation for the sins of another.
Why?
Everyone have bear the responsibility of his conducts and his practises. Everyone is belongs to God, God will judge everyone what he has done. Even his father sin, he will die for his own sin.
How?
After Jesus come, everyone heard the good news turn to the Lord or reject the good news, everyone has to bear his responsibility. It is not the sin of whole generation but personal reaction.
