(II Chronicles 25:4) In Ezekiel, this way of judgment has been presented in these words: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. “The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. ….
