Ezekiel 33:7-19
7So thou, sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and giveH5414 them warning from me. 8When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surely dieH4191, and thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870; that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thy handH3027. 9Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it, and he turnH7725 not from his wayH1870; he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
10And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: ThusH3651 ye speak, sayingH559, Our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 are upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them; howH349 then can we liveH2421? 11SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2421, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4191 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for whyH4100 will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 12And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the children of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588; and as for the wickednessH7562 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fall thereby in the dayH3117 that he turneth from his wickednessH7562; neither shall he that is righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 thereby in the dayH3117 that he sinneth. 13WhenH834 I sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surely liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his righteousnessH6666, and commit iniquity, none of his righteousH6662 deeds shall be rememberedH2142; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he dieH4191. 14Again, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surely dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and do that which is lawful and rightH4941; 15if the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give again that which he had taken by robberyH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, committing no iniquity; he shall surely liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191. 16None of his sinsH2398 that he hath committed shall be rememberedH2142 against him: he hath done that which is lawful and rightH4941; he shall surely liveH2421.
17Yet the children of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equal: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equal. 18When the righteousH6662 turneth from his righteousnessH6666, and committeth iniquity, he shall even dieH4191 therein. 19And when the wickedH7563 turneth from his wickednessH7564, and doeth that which is lawful and rightH4941, he shall liveH2421 thereby.
