And it happened, as soon as the kingdom had been secured in his hand, that he struck his servants who had killed his father the king.

But the children of the murderers he did not execute, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which Jehovah had commanded, saying, Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where Jehovah had commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall the sons be put to death for their fathers; but each shall die for his own sin.

In those days they shall not say any more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are dull.

But every man shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be dull.

The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
