Ezekiel 18:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 “But if a man is righteous and practices justice and righteousness, 6 if he does not (A)eat at the mountain shrines or (B)raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or (C)defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her menstrual period— 7 and if a man does not oppress anyone, but (D)restores to the debtor his pledge, (E)does not commit robbery, but (F)gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing, 8 and if he does not [a]lend money at (G)interest or take [b](H)interest, if he keeps his hand from injustice and (I)executes true justice between one person and another, 9 if he walks in (J)My statutes and keeps My ordinances so as to deal faithfully—(K)he is righteous and will certainly (L)live,” declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 18:5-9
New International Version
5 “Suppose there is a righteous man
who does what is just and right.
6 He does not eat at the mountain(A) shrines
or look to the idols(B) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife
or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.(C)
7 He does not oppress(D) anyone,
but returns what he took in pledge(E) for a loan.
He does not commit robbery(F)
but gives his food to the hungry(G)
and provides clothing for the naked.(H)
8 He does not lend to them at interest
or take a profit from them.(I)
He withholds his hand from doing wrong
and judges fairly(J) between two parties.
9 He follows my decrees(K)
and faithfully keeps my laws.
That man is righteous;(L)
he will surely live,(M)
declares the Sovereign Lord.
