The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,/What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The proverb concerning Israel has no more use since in his Son it has been settled. "Ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel."
God sent his Son to the world in the fulness of time and he was the word become flesh. For this reason the Spirit qualifies him as the only begotten Son. He set an example for example, faith a facet of His holiness. He set the standard for which we do not resort to riddle or any proverb. Eating sour grapes has consequence. Living by faith as his Son constitute the same quality of his Son. The just shall live by faith.
Physical act of eating sour grapes has consequences only as far our bodies are concerned."Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die". The just shall live by faith. Anything that is not done in faith is sin and it is what the Spirit instructs.
