Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
It contradicts the idea of a man's children being blessed by his integrity, as it states the righteousness or wickedness of a person is upon themselves alone, not inherited.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:30
This verse underscores individual accountability for one's actions, contradicting the notion that a person's integrity would lead to blessings on their children.
Jeremiah 31:30: But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:16
This verse insists that children should not be punished for the sins of their parents, suggesting that the character of the parent should not impact the children, contradicting the blessing mentioned in Proverbs 20:7 based on a parent's integrity.
Deuteronomy 24:16: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
