Today is November 8th.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I'm Brian.

It is wonderful to be here with you today around the global campfire.

This place that we can come in out of the cold and dark and warm ourselves

and illuminate our paths and be together in community. I brought my coffee

along like I do every day is right here to the left and of course I brought my

microphone and you wouldn't be hearing me unless it left, and of course I brought my microphone

and you wouldn't be hearing me.

And let's dive into what the scriptures have for us today.

We're reading from the good news translation this week.

Today, Ezekiel, chapter chapter 18 verse 1 through 19 verse 14.

The Lord spoke to me and said, what is this proverb people keep repeating in the land of Israel?

The parents ate the sour grapes, but the children got the sour taste.

As surely as I am the living God, says the sovereign Lord.

You will not repeat this proverb in Israel anymore.

The life of every person belongs to me.

The life of the parents, as well as that of the child.

The person who sins is the one who will die.

Suppose there is a truly good man, righteous and honest.

He doesn't worship the idols of the Israelites or eat the sacrifices offered at forbidden shrines.

He doesn't seduce another man's wife or have intercourse with a woman during her period.
