A Pernicious Proverb

Through Ezekiel, God spoke to Israel in Babylonian captivity, "What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge’? ”As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel." (Ezekiel 18:2-3) This proverb is pernicious, and we should avoid its message as well.
