Ezekiel 18:20

18:20 The person who sins is the one who will die. A son will not suffer 1  for his father’s iniquity, and a father will not suffer 2  for his son’s iniquity; the righteous person will be judged according to his righteousness, and the wicked person according to his wickedness. 3 

Ezekiel 33:12

33:12 “And you, son of man, say to your people, 4  ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. 5  As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. 6  The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness 7  if he sins.’ 8
