Ezekiel 18:19

Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

KJV

Et dicitis : Quare non portavit filius iniquitatem patris ? Videlicet quia filius judicium et justitiam operatus est, omnia præcepta mea custodivit, et fecit illa, vivet vita.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐρεῖτε Τί ὅτι οὐκ ἔλαβεν τὴν ἀδικίαν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ πατρός; ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἔλεος πεποίηκεν, πάντα τὰ νόμιμά μου συνετήρησεν καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτά, ζωῇ ζήσεται.

LXX

Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
