The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me again, sayingH559,
What mean ye, that ye useH4911 this proverbH4912 concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 sour grapesH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, ye shall not have occasion any more to useH4911 this proverbH4912 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, all soulsH5315 are mine; as the soulH5315 of the fatherH1, so also the soulH5315 of the sonH1121 is mine: the soulH5315 that sinnethH2398, it shall dieH4191.
But if a manH376 be justH6662, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, {that…: Heb. judgment and justice}
And hath not eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022, neither hath lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neither hath defiledH2930 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802, neither hath come nearH7126 to a menstruousH5079 womanH802,
And hath not oppressedH3238 anyH376, but hath restoredH7725 to the debtorH2326 his pledgeH2258, hath spoiledH1497 none by violenceH1500, hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899;
He that hath not given forthH5414 upon usuryH5392, neither hath takenH3947 any increaseH8636, that hath withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from iniquityH5766, hath executedH6213 trueH571 judgmentH4941 between manH376 and manH376,
Hath walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708, and hath keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941, to dealH6213 trulyH571; he is justH6662, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
If he begetH3205 a sonH1121 that is a robberH6530, a shedderH8210 of bloodH1818, and that doethH6213 the likeH251 to any oneH259 of these things, {robber: or, breaker up of an house} {that doeth…: or, that doeth to his brother besides any of these}
And that doethH6213 not any of those duties, but even hath eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022, and defiledH2930 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802,
Hath oppressedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34, hath spoiledH1497 by violenceH1500, hath not restoredH7725 the pledgeH2258, and hath lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544, hath committedH6213 abominationH8441,
Hath given forthH5414 upon usuryH5392, and hath takenH3947 increaseH8636: shall he then liveH2425? he shall not liveH2421: he hath doneH6213 all these abominationsH8441; he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Now, lo, if he begetH3205 a sonH1121, that seethH7200 all his father'sH1 sinsH2403 which he hath doneH6213, and considerethH7200, and doethH6213 not such likeH2004,
That hath not eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022, neither hath lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, hath not defiledH2930 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802,
Neither hath oppressedH3238 anyH376, hath not withholdenH2254 the pledgeH2258, neither hath spoiledH1497 by violenceH1500, but hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899, {hath not…: Heb. hath not pledged the pledge, or, taken to pledge}
That hath taken offH7725 his handH3027 from the poorH6041, that hath not receivedH3947 usuryH5392 nor increaseH8636, hath executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, hath walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708; he shall not dieH4191 for the iniquityH5771 of his fatherH1, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
As for his fatherH1, because he cruellyH6233 oppressedH6231, spoiledH1497 his brotherH251 by violenceH1499, and didH6213 that which is not goodH2896 amongH8432 his peopleH5971, lo, even he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771.
Yet sayH559 ye, Why? doth not the sonH1121 bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the fatherH1? When the sonH1121 hath doneH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, and hath keptH8104 all my statutesH2708, and hath doneH6213 them, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
The soulH5315 that sinnethH2398, it shall dieH4191. The sonH1121 shall not bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the fatherH1, neither shall the fatherH1 bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sonH1121: the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall be upon him, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 shall be upon him.
But if the wickedH7563 will turnH7725 from all his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH6213, and keepH8104 all my statutesH2708, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
All his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, they shall not be mentionedH2142 unto him: in his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213 he shall liveH2421.
Have I any pleasureH2654 at allH2654 that the wickedH7563 should dieH4194? saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and not that he should returnH7725 from his waysH1870, and liveH2421?
But when the righteousH6662 turneth awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, and doethH6213 according to all the abominationsH8441 that the wickedH7563 man doethH6213, shall he liveH2425? All his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213 shall not be mentionedH2142: in his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604, and in his sinH2403 that he hath sinnedH2398, in them shall he dieH4191.
Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. HearH8085 now, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Is not my wayH1870 equalH8505? are not your waysH1870 unequalH8505?
When a righteousH6662 man turneth awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, and diethH4191 in them; for his iniquityH5766 that he hath doneH6213 shall he dieH4191.
Again, when the wickedH7563 man turneth awayH7725 from his wickednessH7564 that he hath committedH6213, and doethH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall saveH2421 his soulH5315 aliveH2421.
Because he considerethH7200, and turneth awayH7725 from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
Yet saithH559 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are not my waysH1870 equalH8505? are not your waysH1870 unequalH8505?
Therefore I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. RepentH7725, and turnH7725 yourselves from all your transgressionsH6588; so iniquityH5771 shall not be your ruinH4383. {yourselves: or, others}
Cast awayH7993 from you all your transgressionsH6588, whereby ye have transgressedH6586; and makeH6213 you a newH2319 heartH3820 and a newH2319 spiritH7307: for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
For I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of him that diethH4191, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: wherefore turnH7725 yourselves, and liveH2421 ye. {yourselves: or, others}

If he begetH3205 a sonH1121 that is a robberH6530, a shedderH8210 of bloodH1818, and that doethH6213 the likeH251 to any oneH259 of these things, {robber: or, breaker up of an house} {that doeth…: or, that doeth to his brother besides any of these}
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
Because he considerethH7200, and turneth awayH7725 from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
He that begettethH3205 a foolH3684 doeth it to his sorrowH8424: and the fatherH1 of a foolH5036 hath no joyH8055.
He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and repairedH2388 them.
And he brought inH935 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gathered them togetherH622 into the eastH4217 streetH7339,
And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.
For our fathersH1 have trespassedH4603, and doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsakenH5800 him, and have turned awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitationH4908 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5414 their backsH6203. {turned their…: Heb. given the neck}
Also they have shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put outH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
My sonsH1121, be not now negligentH7952: for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to serveH8334 him, and that ye should ministerH8334 unto him, and burn incenseH6999. {be not…: or, be not now deceived} {burn…: or, offer sacrifice}
The fatherH1 of the righteousH6662 shall greatlyH1524 rejoiceH1523: and he that begettethH3205 a wiseH2450 child shall have joyH8055 of him.
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; yea, also I have bakedH644 breadH3899 upon the coalsH1513 thereof; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it: and shall I makeH6213 the residueH3499 thereof an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086? {considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
I hearkenedH7181 and heardH8085, but they spake not arightH1696: no manH376 repentedH5162 him ofH5921 his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, What have I doneH6213? every one turnedH7725 to his courseH4794, as the horseH5483 rushethH7857 into the battleH4421.
And they considerH559 not in their heartsH3824 that I rememberH2142 all their wickednessH7451: now their own doingsH4611 have beset them aboutH5437; they are before my faceH6440. {consider…: Heb. say not to}
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760+H3824 your waysH1870. {Consider…: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
ConsiderH7760+H3824 now from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD'SH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH7760+H3824 it.
AndG1161 when he cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, How manyG4214 hired servantsG3407 of myG3450 father'sG3962 have breadG740 enough and to spareG4052, andG1161 IG1473 perishG622 with hungerG3042!
I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 fatherG3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4675,
AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG3165 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4675 hired servantsG3407.
