Ezekiel 33:6-16

6But ifH3588 the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 notH3808 the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be notH3808 warnedH2094, and the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 anyH3588 personH5315 from among them; he is takenH3947 awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman’sH6822 handH3027.

7SoH4480 thou, sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and giveH5414 them warning from meH5414.

8When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 manH7563, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, and thou dost notH3808 speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870; that wickedH7563 manH7563 shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.

9NeverthelessH3588, ifH3588 thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it, and he turnH7725 notH3808 from his wayH1870; he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.

10And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: ThusH3651 ye speakH559, sayingH559, Our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 are uponH5921 usH413, and weH587 pine awayH4743 in them; howH349 then should weH587 liveH2421?

11SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2421, saith the LordH136 GODH136, I have noH518 pleasureH2654 in the deathH4191 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for whyH4100 will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?

12And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall notH3808 deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588; and as for the wickednessH7562 of the wickedH7563, he shall notH3808 fallH3782 thereby in the dayH3117 that he turneth from his wickednessH7562: neitherH3808 shall he that is righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 thereby in the dayH3117 that he sinneth.

13When I sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH4191 liveH2421; ifH834 he trustH982 to his righteousnessH6666, and commit iniquityH5766, noneH3808 of his righteousH6662 deedsH6666 shall be rememberedH2142; but in his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213, therein shall he dieH4191.

14AgainH7725, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and doH6213 that which is lawful and rightH4941;

15if the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, giveH7725 againH7725 that he had takenH1500 by robberyH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, committingH6213 noH3808 iniquityH5766; he shall surelyH4191 liveH2421, he shall notH3808 dieH4191.

16NoneH3808 of his sinsH2398 that he hath committedH2398 shall be rememberedH2142 againstH2398 him: he hath doneH6213 that whichH834 is lawful and rightH4941; he shall surelyH834 liveH2421.
