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.
