18:1 Individual responsibility

18 Then Yahweh gave me another message: 2 “What do you mean, you people who use this proverb about Yisrael? You say, ‘Fathers eat sour grapes, but it’s the children’s teeth that are set on edge’.

3 This is the master Yahweh’s declaration: as I live, there’ll certainly no longer be any occasion for you to use this proverb in Yisrael. 4 Listen, every life belongs to me: the father’s life as well as the son’s—they belong to me. The one who disobeys is the one who’ll die.

18 and_ the _message _of _he/it _was of_YHWH to_me to_say.
2 What is_to_you(pl) you(pl) are_speaking _a _proverb DOM the_proverb the_this on the _land _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to_say parents they _eat sour _grape[s] and_the _teeth _of the _children they _are _blunt.
3 by_the _life of _me the _utterance _of my_master YHWH if it _will _belong to/for_you(pl) again to _speak _a _proverb the_proverb the_this in_Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel).
4 Here all _of (the)_lives to_me they as_the _life _of the _parent and_as_the _life _of the _child to_me they the_living _creatures which_sins it it _will _die.
