Deuteronomy 24:16

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.

In context

14 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

15 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

16 Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.

17 Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.

18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from that place. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.
