The word
of the LORD
came unto me again, saying,
What mean ye, that ye use
this proverb
concerning the land
of Israel,
saying,
The fathers
have eaten
sour grapes,
and the children's
teeth
are set on edge?
unripe grape

As I live,
saith
the Lord
GOD,
ye shall not have occasion any more to use
this proverb
in Israel.
Behold, all souls
are mine; as the soul
of the father,
so also the soul
of the son
is mine: the soul
that sinneth,
it shall die.
But if a man
be just,
and do
that which is lawful
and right,
And hath not eaten
upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up
his eyes
to the idols
of the house
of Israel,
neither hath defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
neither hath come near
to a menstruous
woman,

And hath not oppressed
any,
but hath restored
to the debtor
his pledge,
hath spoiled
none by violence,
hath given
his bread
to the hungry,
and hath covered
the naked
with a garment;
taking in pledge

He that hath not given forth
upon usury,
neither hath taken
any increase,
that hath withdrawn
his hand
from iniquity,
hath executed
true
judgment
between man
and man,

Hath walked
in my statutes,
and hath kept
my judgments,
to deal
truly;
he is just,
he shall surely
live,
saith
the Lord
GOD.
If he beget
a son
that is a robber,
a shedder
of blood,
and that doeth
the like
to any one
of these things,
And that doeth
not any of those duties, but even hath eaten
upon the mountains,
and defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
Hath oppressed
the poor
and needy,
hath spoiled
by violence,
hath not restored
the pledge,
and hath lifted up
his eyes
to the idols,
hath committed
abomination,

Hath given forth
upon usury,
and hath taken

shall he then live?
he shall not live:
he hath done
all these abominations;
he shall surely
die;
his blood
shall be upon him.

Now, lo, if he beget
a son,
that seeth
all his father's
sins
which he hath done,
and considereth,
and doeth
not such like,
That hath not eaten
upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up
his eyes
to the idols
of the house
of Israel,
hath not defiled
his neighbour's
wife,
thought

Neither hath oppressed
any,
hath not withholden

neither hath spoiled

with a garment,

That hath taken off

from the poor,
that hath not received

hath executed

hath walked
in my statutes;
he shall not die
for the iniquity
of his father,
he shall surely
live.

As for his father,
because he cruelly

spoiled

and did
that which is not good
among
his people,
lo, even he shall die
in his iniquity.

Yet say
ye, Why? doth not the son
bear
the iniquity
of the father?
When the son
hath done
that which is lawful
and right,
and hath kept
all my statutes,
and hath done
them, he shall surely
live.

The soul
that sinneth,
it shall die.
The son
shall not bear
the iniquity
of the father,
neither shall the father
bear
the iniquity
of the son:
the righteousness
of the righteous
shall be upon him, and the wickedness
of the wicked
shall be upon him.
But if the wicked
will turn
from all his sins
that he hath committed,
and keep
all my statutes,
and do
that which is lawful
and right,
he shall surely
live,
he shall not die.
All his transgressions
that he hath committed,
they shall not be mentioned
unto him: in his righteousness
that he hath done
he shall live.
Have I any pleasure
at all
that the wicked
should die?
saith
the Lord
GOD:
and not that he should return
from his ways,
and live?
But when the righteous
turneth away
from his righteousness,
and committeth
iniquity,
and doeth
according to all the abominations
that the wicked
man doeth,
shall he live?
All his righteousness
that he hath done
shall not be mentioned:
in his trespass
that he hath trespassed,
and in his sin
that he hath sinned,
in them shall he die.
Yet ye say,
The way
of the Lord
is not equal.
Hear
now, O house
of Israel;
Is not my way
equal?
are not your ways
unequal?
say
When a righteous
man turneth away
from his righteousness,
and committeth
iniquity,
and dieth
in them; for his iniquity
that he hath done
shall he die.
Again, when the wicked
man turneth away
from his wickedness
that he hath committed,
and doeth
that which is lawful
and right,
he shall save
his soul
alive.
Because he considereth,
and turneth away
from all his transgressions
that he hath committed,
he shall surely
live,
he shall not die.
Yet saith
the house
of Israel,
The way
of the Lord
is not equal.
O house
of Israel,
are not my ways
equal?
are not your ways
unequal?

Therefore I will judge
you, O house
of Israel,
every one
according to his ways,
saith
the Lord
GOD.
Repent,
and turn
yourselves from all your transgressions;
so iniquity
shall not be your ruin.
Cast away
from you all your transgressions,
whereby ye have transgressed;
and make
you a new
heart
and a new
spirit:
for why will ye die,
O house
of Israel?
For I have no pleasure
in the death
of him that dieth,
saith
the Lord
GOD:
wherefore turn
yourselves, and live
ye.
