Ezekiel 33:7-19

7So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me. 8When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. 9Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315. 10Therefore, O thou sonH1121 of manH120, speakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Thus ye speakH559, sayingH559, If our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 be upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them, how should we then liveH2421? 11SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 12Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588: as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fallH3782 thereby in the dayH3117 that he turnethH7725 from his wickednessH7562; neither shall the righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 for his righteousness in the dayH3117 that he sinnethH2398. 13When I shall sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his own righteousnessH6666, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, all his righteousnessesH6666 shall not be rememberedH2142; but for his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213, he shall dieH4191 for it. 14Again, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666;1 15If the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give againH7999 that he had robbedH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, without committingH6213 iniquityH5766; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191. 16None of his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH2398 shall be mentionedH2142 unto him: he hath doneH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.

17Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equalH8505. 18When the righteousH6662 turnethH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, he shall even dieH4191 thereby. 19But if the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wickednessH7564, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall liveH2421 thereby.
