Ezekiel 18:1-9

1The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413 againH1961, sayingH559,

2WhatH4100 mean ye, that ye useH398 this proverbH4912 concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 sourH1155 grapesH1155, and the children’sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edge?

3As I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136, ye shall notH2088 have occasion anyH5750 moreH5750 to useH1961 this proverbH4912 in IsraelH3478.

4BeholdH2005, allH3605 soulsH5315 are mine; as the soulH5315 of the fatherH1, soH4191 also the soulH5315 of the sonH1121 is mine: the soulH5315 that sinneth, it shall dieH4191.

5But ifH3588 a manH376 be justH4941, and doH6213 that which is lawful and rightH4941,

6and hath notH3808 eatenH398 uponH413 the mountainsH2022, neitherH3808 hath liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neitherH3808 hath defiledH2930 his neighbour’s wifeH802, neitherH3808 hath comeH7126 nearH7126 to a womanH802 in herH413 separation;

7and hath notH3808 wrongedH3238 anyH376, but hath restoredH7725 to the debtorH2326 his pledgeH2258, hath spoiled noneH3808 by violence, hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899;

8he that hath notH3808 givenH5414 forthH5414 uponH4941 usuryH8636, neitherH3808 hath takenH3947 anyH376 increaseH8636, that hath withdrawn his handH3027 from iniquityH5766, hath executed trueH571 judgmentH4941 betweenH996 manH376 and manH376,

9hath walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708, and hath keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941, to dealH6213 trulyH571; he is justH4941, he shall surelyH1980 liveH2421, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
