15

That hath not eatenh398h8804 upon the mountainsh2022, neither hath lifted uph5375h8804 his eyesh5869 to the idolsh1544 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478, hath not defiledh2930h8765 his neighbour'sh7453 wifeh802,

18

As for his fatherh1, because he cruellyh6233 oppressedh6231h8804, spoiledh1497h8804 his brotherh251 by violenceh1499, and didh6213h8804 that which is not goodh2896 amongh8432 his peopleh5971, lo, even he shall dieh4191h8801 in his iniquityh5771.

19

Yet sayh559h8804 ye, Why? doth not the sonh1121 bearh5375h8804 the iniquityh5771 of the fatherh1? When the sonh1121 hath doneh6213h8804 that which is lawfulh4941 and righth6666, and hath kepth8104h8804 all my statutesh2708, and hath doneh6213h8799 them, he shall surelyh2421h8800 liveh2421h8799.

20

The soulh5315 that sinnethh2398h8802, it shall dieh4191h8799. The sonh1121 shall not bearh5375h8799 the iniquityh5771 of the fatherh1, neither shall the fatherh1 bearh5375h8799 the iniquityh5771 of the sonh1121: the righteousnessh6666 of the righteoush6662 shall be upon him, and the wickednessh7564 of the wickedh7563 shall be upon him.

21

But if the wickedh7563 will turnh7725h8799 from all his sinsh2403 that he hath committedh6213h8804, and keeph8104h8804 all my statutesh2708, and doh6213h8804 that which is lawfulh4941 and righth6666, he shall surelyh2421h8800 liveh2421h8799, he shall not dieh4191h8799.

22

All his transgressionsh6588 that he hath committedh6213h8804, they shall not be mentionedh2142h8735 unto him: in his righteousnessh6666 that he hath doneh6213h8804 he shall liveh2421h8799.

23

Have I any pleasureh2654h8799 at allh2654h8800 that the wickedh7563 should dieh4194? saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069: and not that he should returnh7725h8800 from his waysh1870, and liveh2421h8804?

24

But when the righteoush6662 turneth awayh7725h8800 from his righteousnessh6666, and committethh6213h8804 iniquityh5766, and doethh6213h8799 according to all the abominationsh8441 that the wickedh7563 man doethh6213h8804, shall he liveh2425h8804? All his righteousnessh6666 that he hath doneh6213h8804 shall not be mentionedh2142h8735: in his trespassh4603h8804 that he hath trespassedh4604, and in his sinh2403 that he hath sinnedh2398h8804, in them shall he dieh4191h8799.

25

Yet ye sayh559h8804, The wayh1870 of the Lordh136 is not equalh8505h8735. Hearh8085h8798 now, O househ1004 of Israelh3478; Is not my wayh1870 equalh8505h8735? are not your waysh1870 unequalh8505h8735?

26

When a righteoush6662 man turneth awayh7725h8800 from his righteousnessh6666, and committethh6213h8804 iniquityh5766, and diethh4191h8804 in them; for his iniquityh5766 that he hath doneh6213h8804 shall he dieh4191h8799.

27

Again, when the wickedh7563 man turneth awayh7725h8800 from his wickednessh7564 that he hath committedh6213h8804, and doethh6213h8799 that which is lawfulh4941 and righth6666, he shall saveh2421 his soulh5315 aliveh2421h8762.

28

Because he considerethh7200h8799, and turneth awayh7725h8799 from all his transgressionsh6588 that he hath committedh6213h8804, he shall surelyh2421h8800 liveh2421h8799, he shall not dieh4191h8799.

29

Yet saithh559h8804 the househ1004 of Israelh3478, The wayh1870 of the Lordh136 is not equalh8505h8735. O househ1004 of Israelh3478, are not my waysh1870 equalh8505h8735? are not your waysh1870 unequalh8505h8735?

30

Therefore I will judgeh8199h8799 you, O househ1004 of Israelh3478, every oneh376 according to his waysh1870, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069. Repenth7725h8798, and turnh7725h8685 yourselves from all your transgressionsh6588; so iniquityh5771 shall not be your ruinh4383. yourselves: or, others

31

Cast awayh7993h8685 from you all your transgressionsh6588, whereby ye have transgressedh6586h8804; and makeh6213h8798 you a newh2319 hearth3820 and a newh2319 spirith7307: for why will ye dieh4191h8799, O househ1004 of Israelh3478?

32

For I have no pleasureh2654h8799 in the deathh4194 of him that diethh4191h8801, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069: wherefore turnh7725h8685 yourselves , and liveh2421h8798 ye. yourselves: or, others
