Ezekiel 33:7-17
7“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, I have 12appointedH5414 you a watchmanH6822 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so you will hearH8085 a 3messageH1697 from My mouthH6310 and giveH2094 them 4warningH2094 from Me. 8When I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘O wickedH7563 manH7563, you will 5surelyH4191 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 6does not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he will dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but you have 7deliveredH5337 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 8rottingH4743 awayH4743 in them; 9howH349 then can we 10surviveH2421?”’ 11SayH559 to them, ‘11As I liveH2416!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 12GodH3068, ‘I takeH2654 13noH518 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563, but ratherH3588H518 that the wickedH7563 14turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421. 15TurnH7725 backH7725, turnH7725 backH7725 from your evilH7451 waysH1870! WhyH4100 then will you dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?’ 12And you, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to 16your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971, ‘The 17righteousnessH6666 of a righteousH6662 manH6662 will not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588, and as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he will 18not stumbleH3782 because of it in the dayH3117 when he turnsH7725 from his wickednessH7562; whereas a righteousH6662 manH6662 will not be ableH3201 to liveH2421 19by 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 20commitsH6213 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 21turnsH7725 from his sinH2403 and practicesH6213 22justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, 15if a wickedH7563 manH7563 restoresH7725 a pledgeH2258, 23paysH7999 backH7999 whatH1500 he has takenH1500 by robberyH1500, walksH1980 by the 24statutesH2708 25which ensure lifeH2425 withoutH1115 committingH6213 iniquityH5766, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; he shall not dieH4191. 1626NoneH3605H3808 of his sinsH2403 that he has committedH2398 will be rememberedH2142 against him. He has practicedH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
17“Yet 27your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971 sayH559, ‘The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505,’ when it is their own wayH1870 that is not rightH8505.
