Ezekiel 18:8-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
8and if he does not lend money at interest or take interest, if he keeps his hand from injustice and executes true justice between one person and another, 9if he walks in My statutes and keeps My ordinances so as to deal faithfully—he is righteous and will certainly live,' declares the Lord God.
10However, he may father a violent son who sheds blood, and does any one of these things to a brother
11(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and defiles his neighbor’s wife,
12oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but raises his eyes to the idols and commits abomination,
King James Version
Chapter 18
8He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
10If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,
11And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
12Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

Chapter 18
8He doesn't lend at interest or for profit but keeps his hand from injustice and carries out true justice between men. 9He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live." This is the declaration of the Lord God.
10"But suppose the man has a violent son, who sheds blood and does any of these things,
11though the father has done none of them. Indeed, when the son eats at the mountain shrines and defiles his neighbor's wife,
12and when he oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, and does not return collateral, and when he looks to the idols, commits detestable acts,
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
8He grants loans without interest, stays away from injustice, is honest and fair when judging others, 9and faithfully obeys my decrees and regulations. Anyone who does these things is just and will surely live, says the Sovereign Lord.
10But suppose that man has a son who grows up to be a robber or murderer and refuses to do what is right.
11And that son does all the evil things his father would never do — he worships idols on the mountains, commits adultery,
12oppresses the poor and helpless, steals from debtors by refusing to let them redeem their security, worships idols, commits detestable sins,

10“If he fathers a son who is violent, a shedder of blood, who does any of these things
