What Does Ezekiel 18:29 Mean?
The repetition of the complaint and the refutation shows how persistent Israel's resistance is. They cling to the excuse of inherited guilt and external fate, refusing to accept the moral agency God places in their hands. This is resistance rooted in comfort with victimhood.
God's repeated challenge is clear: examine your own ways, not God's. Your complaint is the problem, not God's justice.
