Ezekiel 33:2-20

2SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and sayH559 to them, When I bringH935 the swordH2719 upon a landH776, if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 takeH3947 aH259 manH376 from among themH7097, and setH5414 him for their watchmanH6822:1 3If when he seethH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935 upon the landH776, he shall blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094 the peopleH5971; 4Then whoeverH8085 hearethH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094; if the swordH2719 will comeH935, and take him awayH3947, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218.2 5He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315. 6But if the watchmanH6822 will seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 will comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman’sH6822 handH3027. 7So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me. 8When I sayH559 to 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 thy handH3027. 9Nevertheless, if thou shalt warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he will not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.

10Therefore, O thou sonH1121 of manH120, speakH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Thus ye speakH559, sayingH559, If our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 are upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them, how should we then liveH2421? 11SayH559 to them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 should 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 to 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 by it 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 will 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 to the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if he will turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666;3 15If the wickedH7563 will restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give againH7999 that which 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 to 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, for that he shall even dieH4191. 19But if the wickedH7563 will turnH7725 from his wickednessH7564, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, for that he shall liveH2421. 20Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, I will judgeH8199 you every oneH376 after his waysH1870.
