ukjv Ezekiel:33:1-20
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:1 @ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:2 @ Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:3 @ If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:4 @ Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:5 @ He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:6 @ But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, 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.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:7 @ So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:8 @ When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at yours hand.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:9 @ Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:10 @ Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus all of you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:11 @ Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn all of you, turn all of you from your evil ways; for why will all of you die, O house of Israel?
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:12 @ Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:13 @ When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:14 @ Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:15 @ If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:16 @ None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
ukjv@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.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:18 @ When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:19 @ But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
ukjv@Ezekiel:33:20 @ Yet all of you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O all of you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
