Ezekiel 18:7-16
7and if a manH376 does not oppressH3238 anyone, but 1restoresH7725 to the debtorH2326 his pledgeH2260, 2does not commitH1497 robberyH1500, but 3givesH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457 and coversH3680 the nakedH5903 with clothingH899, 8and if he does not 4lendH5414 money at 5interestH5392 or takeH3947 67interestH8636, if he keepsH7725 his handH3027 from injusticeH5766 and 8executesH6213 trueH571 justiceH4941 betweenH996 oneH376 personH376 and anotherH376, 9if he walksH1980 in 9My statutesH2708 and keepsH8104 My ordinancesH4941 so as to dealH6213 faithfullyH571--10he is righteousH6662 and will certainlyH2421 11liveH2421,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
10“However, he may fatherH3205 a violentH6530 sonH1121 who shedsH8210 bloodH1818, and doesH6213 anyH4480 oneH259 of theseH428 thingsH428 to a brotherH251 11(though he himselfH1931 did not doH6213 anyH3605 of theseH428 thingsH428), that is, he evenH1571 eatsH398 at the mountainH2022 shrines, and 12defilesH2930 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, 12oppressesH3238 the 13poorH6041 and needyH34, 14commitsH1497 robberyH1500, does not restoreH7725 a pledgeH2258, but raisesH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 and 15commitsH6213 abominationH8441, 1316lendsH5414 money at interestH5392 and takesH3947 17interestH8636; will he liveH2421? He will not liveH2421! He has committedH6213 allH3605 theseH428 abominationsH8441, he shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191; his 18bloodH1818 will be on himself.
14“Now beholdH2009, he has fatheredH3205 a sonH1121 who sawH7200 allH3605 his father’sH1 sinsH2403 whichH834 he committedH6213, but he has 19seenH7200 them and does not doH6213 likewiseH2004. 15He does not eatH398 at the mountainH2022 shrines or raiseH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; he has not defiledH2930 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, 16nor oppressedH3238 anyoneH376, nor retainedH2254 a pledgeH2258, nor committedH1497 robberyH1500; instead, he 20givesH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457 and coversH3680 the nakedH5903 with clothingH899,
