web - Ezekiel:33:1-19

web@Ezekiel:33:1 @ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

web@Ezekiel:33:2 @ Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;

web@Ezekiel:33:3 @ if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

web@Ezekiel:33:4 @ then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

web@Ezekiel:33:5 @ He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.

web@Ezekiel:33:6 @ But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

web@Ezekiel:33:7 @ So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

web@Ezekiel:33:8 @ When I tell the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you don't speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.

web@Ezekiel:33:9 @ Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

web@Ezekiel:33:10 @ You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: Thus you speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?

web@Ezekiel:33:11 @ Tell them, As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?

web@Ezekiel:33:12 @ You, son of man, tell the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.

web@Ezekiel:33:13 @ When I tell the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he has committed, therein shall he die.

web@Ezekiel:33:14 @ Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

web@Ezekiel:33:15 @ if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

web@Ezekiel:33:16 @ None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

web@Ezekiel:33:17 @ Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

web@Ezekiel:33:18 @ When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die therein.

web@Ezekiel:33:19 @ When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
