Ezekiel 18:19-32

19“Yet you sayH559, ‘1WhyH4069 should the sonH1121 not bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the father’sH1 iniquityH5771?’ When the sonH1121 has practicedH6213 2justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 and has observedH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and doneH6213 them, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421. 20The personH5315 who 3sinsH2398 will dieH4191. The 4sonH1121 will not bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the father’sH1 iniquityH5771, norH3808 will the fatherH1 bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the son’sH1121 iniquityH5771; the 5righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 will be upon himself, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 will be upon himself.

21“But ifH3588 the 6wickedH7563 manH7563 turnsH7725 from allH3605 his sinsH2403 whichH834 he has committedH6213 and observesH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and practicesH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; he shall not dieH4191. 227AllH3605 his transgressionsH6588 whichH834 he has committedH6213 will not be rememberedH2142 against him; because of his 8righteousnessH6666 whichH834 he has practicedH6213, he will liveH2421. 239Do I haveH2654 anyH2654 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “10ratherH3808 thanH3808 that he should 11turnH7725 from his waysH1870 and liveH2421?

24“But when a righteousH6662 manH6662 12turnsH7725 awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, commitsH6213 iniquityH5766 and doesH6213 according to allH3605 the abominationsH8441 that a wickedH7563 manH7563 doesH6213, will he liveH2421? 13AllH3605 his righteousH6666 deedsH6666 whichH834 he has doneH6213 will not be rememberedH2142 for his 14treacheryH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 and his sinH2403 whichH834 he has committedH2398; for them he will dieH4191. 25Yet you sayH559, ‘15The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505.’ HearH8085 nowH4994, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478! Is 16My wayH1870 not rightH8505? Is it not your waysH1870 that are not rightH8505? 26When a righteousH6662 manH6662 turnsH7725 awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, commitsH6213 iniquityH5766 and diesH4191 becauseH5921 of it, for his iniquityH5766 whichH834 he has committedH6213 he will dieH4191. 27Again, when a wickedH7563 manH7563 turnsH7725 awayH7725 17from his wickednessH7564 whichH834 he has committedH6213 and practicesH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, he will saveH2421 his lifeH5315. 28Because he consideredH7200 and turnedH7725 awayH7725 from allH3605 his transgressionsH6588 whichH834 he had committedH6213, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; he shall not dieH4191. 29But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 saysH559, ‘The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505.’ Are My waysH1870 not rightH8505, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? Is it not your waysH1870 that are not rightH8505?

30“ThereforeH3651 I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, eachH376 according to his conductH1870,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. “18RepentH7725 and turnH7725 awayH7725 from allH3605 your transgressionsH6588, so that iniquityH5771 may not becomeH1961 a stumblingH4383 blockH4383 to you. 3119CastH7993 awayH7993 from you allH3605 your transgressionsH6588 whichH834 you have committedH6586 and makeH6213 yourselves a 20newH2319 heartH3820 and a newH2319 spiritH7307! For whyH4100 will you dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 32For I haveH2654 21noH3808 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of anyone who diesH4191,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. “Therefore, repentH7725 and liveH2421.”
