Ezekiel 18:20-32
20The soulH5315 that sinneth, it shall dieH4191: the sonH1121 shall not bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the fatherH1, neither shall the fatherH1 bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sonH1121; the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall beH1961 upon him, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 shall beH1961 upon him.
21But if the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from all his sinsH2403 that he hath committed, and keepH8104 all my statutesH2708, and do that which is lawful and rightH4941, he shall surely liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191. 22None of his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committed shall be rememberedH2142 against him: in his righteousnessH6666 that he hath done he shall liveH2421. 23Have I any pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563? saith the LordH136 Jehovah; and not rather that he should returnH7725 from his wayH1870, and liveH2421? 24But whenH834 the righteousH6662 turneth awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominationsH8441 that the wickedH7563 man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteousH6662 deeds that he hath done shall be rememberedH2142: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sinH2398 that he hath sinnedH2398, in them shall he dieH4191.
25Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equal. HearH8085 now, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: Is not my wayH1870 equal? are not your waysH1870 unequal? 26WhenH834 the righteousH6662 man turneth awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he dieH4191. 27Again, whenH834 the wickedH7563 man turneth awayH7725 from his wickednessH7564 that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and rightH4941, he shall save his soulH5315 aliveH2421. 28Because he considereth, and turneth awayH7725 from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committed, he shall surely liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191. 29Yet saith the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equal. O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are not my waysH1870 equal? are not your waysH1870 unequal? 30ThereforeH3651 I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. ReturnH7725 ye, and turnH7725 yourselves from all your transgressionsH6588; soH3651 iniquityH5771 shall not beH1961 your ruin. 31CastH7993 awayH7993 from you all your transgressionsH6588, wherein ye have transgressedH6586; and makeH6213 you a newH2319 heartH3820 and a newH2319 spiritH7307: for whyH4100 will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 32For I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4191 of him that dieth, saith the LordH136 Jehovah: wherefore turnH7725 yourselves, and liveH2421.
