1 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me again, saying <0559> (8800),
2 What mean ye, that ye use <04911> (8802) this proverb <04912> concerning the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), The fathers <01> have eaten <0398> (8799) sour grapes <01155>, and the children's <01121> teeth <08127> are set on edge <06949> (8799)?
3 As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, ye shall not have occasion any more to use <04911> (8800) this proverb <04912> in Israel <03478>.
4 Behold, all souls <05315> are mine; as the soul <05315> of the father <01>, so also the soul <05315> of the son <01121> is mine: the soul <05315> that sinneth <02398> (8802), it shall die <04191> (8799).
5 But if a man <0376> be just <06662>, and do <06213> (8804) that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>,
6 And hath not eaten <0398> (8804) upon the mountains <02022>, neither hath lifted up <05375> (8804) his eyes <05869> to the idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, neither hath defiled <02930> (8765) his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>, neither hath come near <07126> (8799) to a menstruous <05079> woman <0802>,
7 And hath not oppressed <03238> (8686) any <0376>, but hath restored <07725> (8686) to the debtor <02326> his pledge <02258>, hath spoiled <01497> (8799) none by violence <01500>, hath given <05414> (8799) his bread <03899> to the hungry <07457>, and hath covered <03680> (8762) the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>;
8 He that hath not given forth <05414> (8799) upon usury <05392>, neither hath taken <03947> (8799) any increase <08636>, that hath withdrawn <07725> (8686) his hand <03027> from iniquity <05766>, hath executed <06213> (8799) true <0571> judgment <04941> between man <0376> and man <0376>,
9 Hath walked <01980> (8762) in my statutes <02708>, and hath kept <08104> (8804) my judgments <04941> , to deal <06213> (8800) truly <0571>; he is just <06662>, he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799), saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
10 # If he beget <03205> (8689) a son <01121> that is a robber <06530>, a shedder <08210> (8802) of blood <01818>, and that doeth <06213> (8804) the like <0251> to any one <0259> of these things,
11 And that doeth <06213> (8804) not any of those duties, but even hath eaten <0398> (8804) upon the mountains <02022>, and defiled <02930> (8765) his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,
12 Hath oppressed <03238> (8689) the poor <06041> and needy <034>, hath spoiled <01497> (8804) by violence <01500>, hath not restored <07725> (8686) the pledge <02258>, and hath lifted up <05375> (8804) his eyes <05869> to the idols <01544>, hath committed <06213> (8804) abomination <08441>,
13 Hath given forth <05414> (8804) upon usury <05392>, and hath taken <03947> (8804) increase <08636> : shall he then live <02425> (8804)? he shall not live <02421> (8799): he hath done <06213> (8804) all these abominations <08441>; he shall surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8714); his blood <01818> shall be upon him.
14 Now, lo, if he beget <03205> (8689) a son <01121>, that seeth <07200> (8799) all his father's <01> sins <02403> which he hath done <06213> (8804), and considereth <07200> (8799), and doeth <06213> (8799) not such like <02004>,
15 That hath not eaten <0398> (8804) upon the mountains <02022>, neither hath lifted up <05375> (8804) his eyes <05869> to the idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, hath not defiled <02930> (8765) his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,
16 Neither hath oppressed <03238> (8689) any <0376>, hath not withholden <02254> (8804) the pledge <02258> , neither hath spoiled <01497> (8804) by violence <01500>, but hath given <05414> (8804) his bread <03899> to the hungry <07457>, and hath covered <03680> (8765) the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>,
17 That hath taken off <07725> (8689) his hand <03027> from the poor <06041>, that hath not received <03947> (8804) usury <05392> nor increase <08636>, hath executed <06213> (8804) my judgments <04941>, hath walked <01980> (8804) in my statutes <02708>; he shall not die <04191> (8799) for the iniquity <05771> of his father <01>, he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799).
18 As for his father <01>, because he cruelly <06233> oppressed <06231> (8804), spoiled <01497> (8804) his brother <0251> by violence <01499>, and did <06213> (8804) that which is not good <02896> among <08432> his people <05971>, lo, even he shall die <04191> (8801) in his iniquity <05771>.
19 Yet say <0559> (8804) ye, Why? doth not the son <01121> bear <05375> (8804) the iniquity <05771> of the father <01>? When the son <01121> hath done <06213> (8804) that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, and hath kept <08104> (8804) all my statutes <02708>, and hath done <06213> (8799) them, he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799).
20 The soul <05315> that sinneth <02398> (8802), it shall die <04191> (8799). The son <01121> shall not bear <05375> (8799) the iniquity <05771> of the father <01>, neither shall the father <01> bear <05375> (8799) the iniquity <05771> of the son <01121>: the righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> shall be upon him, and the wickedness <07564> of the wicked <07563> shall be upon him.
21 # But if the wicked <07563> will turn <07725> (8799) from all his sins <02403> that he hath committed <06213> (8804), and keep <08104> (8804) all my statutes <02708>, and do <06213> (8804) that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799), he shall not die <04191> (8799).
22 All his transgressions <06588> that he hath committed <06213> (8804), they shall not be mentioned <02142> (8735) unto him: in his righteousness <06666> that he hath done <06213> (8804) he shall live <02421> (8799).
23 Have I any pleasure <02654> (8799) at all <02654> (8800) that the wicked <07563> should die <04194> ? saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: and not that he should return <07725> (8800) from his ways <01870>, and live <02421> (8804)?
24 But when the righteous <06662> turneth away <07725> (8800) from his righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> (8804) iniquity <05766>, and doeth <06213> (8799) according to all the abominations <08441> that the wicked <07563> man doeth <06213> (8804), shall he live <02425> (8804)? All his righteousness <06666> that he hath done <06213> (8804) shall not be mentioned <02142> (8735): in his trespass <04603> (8804) that he hath trespassed <04604>, and in his sin <02403> that he hath sinned <02398> (8804), in them shall he die <04191> (8799).
25 Yet ye say <0559> (8804), The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505> (8735). Hear <08085> (8798) now, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>; Is not my way <01870> equal <08505> (8735)? are not your ways <01870> unequal <08505> (8735)?
26 When a righteous <06662> man turneth away <07725> (8800) from his righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> (8804) iniquity <05766>, and dieth <04191> (8804) in them; for his iniquity <05766> that he hath done <06213> (8804) shall he die <04191> (8799).
27 Again, when the wicked <07563> man turneth away <07725> (8800) from his wickedness <07564> that he hath committed <06213> (8804), and doeth <06213> (8799) that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall save <02421> <00> his soul <05315> alive <02421> (8762).
28 Because he considereth <07200> (8799), and turneth away <07725> (8799) from all his transgressions <06588> that he hath committed <06213> (8804), he shall surely <02421> (8800) live <02421> (8799), he shall not die <04191> (8799).
29 Yet saith <0559> (8804) the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505> (8735). O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, are not my ways <01870> equal <08505> (8735)? are not your ways <01870> unequal <08505> (8735)?
30 # Therefore I will judge <08199> (8799) you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, every one <0376> according to his ways <01870>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>. Repent <07725> (8798), and turn <07725> (8685) yourselves from all your transgressions <06588>; so iniquity <05771> shall not be your ruin <04383>.
31 Cast away <07993> (8685) from you all your transgressions <06588>, whereby ye have transgressed <06586> (8804) ; and make <06213> (8798) you a new <02319> heart <03820> and a new <02319> spirit <07307>: for why will ye die <04191> (8799), O house <01004> of Israel <03478>?
32 For I have no pleasure <02654> (8799) in the death <04194> of him that dieth <04191> (8801), saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: wherefore turn <07725> (8685) yourselves, and live <02421> (8798) ye.
