Ezek 18:2

“It was this new covenant that was prophesied about when it was said by Ezekiel that the children should not bear the iniquity of the parents, and that it should no longer be a proverb in Israel, "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." Here lies the necessity that each person should be born again, that he might be freed from the sin in which he was born. For the sins committed afterwards can be cured by penitence, as we see is the case after baptism.”

“For the last and supposedly strongest argument for your case, you refer to the prophetic testimony of Ezekiel, where we read that there will no longer be a proverb in which they say the parents have eaten sour grapes and the teeth of the children are on edge; the child will not die in the sin of his parent or the parent in the sin of his child, but the soul that sins shall die. You do not understand that this is the promise of the New Testament and of the other world. For the grace of the Redeemer ensured that he cancelled the paternal decree, so that each person should account for himself.”

“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What do you mean that you use this parable Asanplanz in Old French, comparison, parable. The fathers have eaten sour grapes Heb. בוֹסֶר, fruit before it has ripened. Verjus in—French, verjuice. and the children’s teeth are set on edge Heb. תִּקְהֶינָה, agazeront in Old French, will be set on edge. So is the way of the Holy One, blessed be He: the fathers sin and the children are punished, for the kings of Israel sinned for many years before they were exiled, and we too need not be concerned that we shall be punished for our iniquities.”

“Edge. Those in captivity would not allow that they were punished for their own sins: God convinces them of the contrary. (Worthington) — They knew that he often visited the sins of the fathers upon the children, (Exodus xx. 5., and xxiv. 5.; Calmet) when they also hated him, (Haydock) and that many had suffered for their parents’ faults, like those of Saul, David, &c. (Calmet) — But these were all guilty of original sin at least, and death is not always a real misfortune. (Haydock) — God seems to allow that the complaints had hitherto had some grounds, (Jeremias xxxi.) but that they should be removed after the captivity, and still more effectually by the death of Christ, who came to redeem sinners, and rejected none. By baptism he cancels original sin, the sour grape, and those who cannot receive it are not innocent. (Calmet) — God chastises the body, but not the soul of children, for their parents’ faults: (Menochius) and this conduct is a trial for them, which may increase their glory. (Haydock)”
