Ezekiel 33:7-20

7“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, I have 12appointedH5414 you as a watchmanH6822 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so you will hearH8085 a 3messageH1697 from My mouthH6310 and giveH2094 them aH2094 4warningH2094 from Me. 8When I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘You wickedH7563 personH7563, you will 5certainlyH4191 dieH4191,’ and you do not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 aboutH4480 his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 personH7563 shall dieH4191 for his wrongdoingH5771, but I will 6requireH1245 his bloodH1818 from your handH3027. 9But ifH3588 you on your partH859 warnH2094 a wickedH7563 personH7563 to turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and he 7does not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he will dieH4191 for his wrongdoingH5771, but you have 8savedH5337 your lifeH5315.

10“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThisH3651 is whatH3651 you have 9saidH559: “SurelyH3588 our offensesH6588 and our sinsH2403 are upon us, and we are 10rottingH4743 awayH4743 in them; 11howH349 then can we 12surviveH2421?”’ 11SayH559 to them, ‘13As I liveH2416!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 14GodH3068, ‘I takeH2654 15noH518 pleasureH2654 atH518 allH518 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563, but ratherH3588H518 that the wickedH7563 16turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421. 17TurnH7725 backH7725, turnH7725 backH7725 from your evilH7451 waysH1870! WhyH4100 then should you dieH4191, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?’ 12And you, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to 18your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971, ‘The 19righteousnessH6666 of a righteousH6662 oneH6662 will not saveH5337 him on the dayH3117 of his offenseH6588, and as for the wickednessH7564 of a wickedH7563 oneH7563, he will 20not stumbleH3782 because of it on the dayH3117 when he turnsH7725 from his wickednessH7562; whereas a righteousH6662 oneH6662 will not beH3201 ableH3201 to liveH2421 21by his righteousness on the dayH3117 when he commitsH2398 sinH2398.’ 13When I sayH559 to the righteousH6662 that he will certainlyH2421 liveH2421, and he so trustsH982 in his righteousnessH6666 that he 22commitsH6213 injusticeH5766, noneH3605H3808 of his righteousH6666 deedsH6666 will be rememberedH2142; but for that same injusticeH5766 of his whichH834 he has committedH6213 he will dieH4191. 14But when I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘You will certainlyH4191 dieH4191,’ and he 23turnsH7725 from his sinH2403 and practicesH6213 24justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, 15if a wickedH7563 personH7563 returnsH7725 a pledgeH2258, 25paysH7999 backH7999 whatH1500 he has takenH1500 byH1500 robberyH1500, walksH1980 by the 26statutesH2708 27which ensure lifeH2425 withoutH1115 committingH6213 injusticeH5766, he shall certainlyH2421 liveH2421; he shall not dieH4191. 1628NoneH3605H3808 of his sinsH2403 that he has committedH2398 will be rememberedH2142 against him. He has practicedH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666; he shall certainlyH2421 liveH2421.

17“Yet 29your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971 sayH559, ‘The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505,’ when it is their own wayH1870 that is not rightH8505. 18When the righteousH6662 turnsH7725 from his righteousnessH6666 and 30commitsH6213 injusticeH5766, then he shall dieH4191 in 31it. 19But when the wickedH7563 turnsH7725 from his wickednessH7564 and practicesH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666, he will liveH2421 by them. 20Yet you sayH559, ‘32The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not rightH8505.’ I will judgeH8199 eachH376 of you according to his waysH1870, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.”
