Ezekiel 33:6-16
6But ifH3588 the watchmanH6822 seesH7200 the swordH2719 comingH935 and does not blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 and the peopleH5971 are not warnedH2094, and a swordH2719 comesH935 and takesH3947 a personH5315 from them, he is 1takenH3947 away 2in his iniquityH5771; but his 3bloodH1818 I will requireH1875 from the watchman’sH6822 handH3027.’
7“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, I have 45appointedH5414 you a watchmanH6822 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so you will hearH8085 a 6messageH1697 from My mouthH6310 and giveH2094 them 7warningH2094 from Me. 8When I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘O wickedH7563 manH7563, you will 8surelyH4191 dieH4191,’ and you do not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 manH7563 shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 I will requireH1245 from your handH3027. 9But ifH3588 you on your partH859 warnH2094 a wickedH7563 manH7563 to turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and he 9does not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he will dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but you have 10deliveredH5337 your lifeH5315.
10“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThusH3651 you have spokenH559, sayingH559, “SurelyH3588 our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 are upon us, and we are 11rottingH4743 awayH4743 in them; 12howH349 then can we 13surviveH2421?”’ 11SayH559 to them, ‘14As I liveH2416!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 15GodH3068, ‘I takeH2654 16noH518 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563, but ratherH3588H518 that the wickedH7563 17turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421. 18TurnH7725 backH7725, turnH7725 backH7725 from your evilH7451 waysH1870! WhyH4100 then will you dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?’ 12And you, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to 19your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971, ‘The 20righteousnessH6666 of a righteousH6662 manH6662 will not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588, and as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he will 21not stumbleH3782 because of it in the dayH3117 when he turnsH7725 from his wickednessH7562; whereas a righteousH6662 manH6662 will not be ableH3201 to liveH2421 22by his righteousness on the dayH3117 when he commitsH2398 sinH2398.’ 13When I sayH559 to the righteousH6662 he will surelyH2421 liveH2421, and he so trustsH982 in his righteousnessH6666 that he 23commitsH6213 iniquityH5766, noneH3605H3808 of his righteousH6666 deedsH6666 will be rememberedH2142; but in that same iniquityH5766 of his whichH834 he has committedH6213 he will dieH4191. 14But when I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘You will surelyH4191 dieH4191,’ and he 24turnsH7725 from his sinH2403 and practicesH6213 25justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, 15if a wickedH7563 manH7563 restoresH7725 a pledgeH2258, 26paysH7999 backH7999 whatH1500 he has takenH1500 by robberyH1500, walksH1980 by the 27statutesH2708 28which ensure lifeH2425 withoutH1115 committingH6213 iniquityH5766, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; he shall not dieH4191. 1629NoneH3605H3808 of his sinsH2403 that he has committedH2398 will be rememberedH2142 against him. He has practicedH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
