Ezekiel 18:21-30
21“But ifH3588 the 1wickedH7563 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. 222AllH3605 his transgressionsH6588 whichH834 he has committedH6213 will not be rememberedH2142 against him; because of his 3righteousnessH6666 whichH834 he has practicedH6213, he will liveH2421. 234Do I haveH2654 anyH2654 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “5ratherH3808 thanH3808 that he should 6turnH7725 from his waysH1870 and liveH2421?
24“But when a righteousH6662 manH6662 7turnsH7725 awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, commitsH6213 iniquityH5766 and doesH6213 according to allH3605 the abominationsH8441 that a wickedH7563 manH7563 doesH6213, will he liveH2421? 8AllH3605 his righteousH6666 deedsH6666 whichH834 he has doneH6213 will not be rememberedH2142 for his 9treacheryH4604 whichH834 he has committedH4603 and his sinH2403 whichH834 he has committedH2398; for them he will dieH4191. 25Yet you sayH559, ‘10The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505.’ HearH8085 nowH4994, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478! Is 11My 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 12from 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. “13RepentH7725 and turnH7725 awayH7725 from allH3605 your transgressionsH6588, so that iniquityH5771 may not becomeH1961 a stumblingH4383 blockH4383 to you.
