Ezekiel 33:7-19

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.

17Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is notH3808 equal: but as for them, their wayH1870 is notH3808 equal.

18When the righteousH6662 turneth from his righteousnessH6666, and committeth iniquityH5766, he shall evenH6213 dieH4191 therein.

19And when the wickedH7563 turneth from his wickednessH7564, and doeth that whichH1931 is lawful and rightH4941, he shall liveH2421 thereby.
