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}

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:
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.
The righteousH6662 considerethH3045 the causeH1779 of the poorH1800: but the wickedH7563 regardethH995 not to knowH1847 it.
Ye shall doH6213 my judgmentsH4941, and keepH8104 mine ordinancesH2708, to walkH3212 therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Wherefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye pollutedH2930 after the mannerH1870 of your fathersH1? and commit ye whoredomH2181 afterH310 their abominationsH8251?
Because he considerethH7200, and turneth awayH7725 from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
The kingH4428 that faithfullyH571 judgethH8199 the poorH1800, his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 for everH5703.
Ye shall therefore keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, and shall not commitH6213 any of these abominationsH8441; neither any of your own nationH249, nor any strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you:
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore will I castH2904 you out of this landH776 into a landH776 that ye knowH3045 not, neither ye nor your fathersH1; and there shall ye serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915; where I will not shewH5414 you favourH2594.
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
He judgedH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore shall ye keepH8104 mine ordinanceH4931, that ye commitH6213 not any one of these abominableH8441 customsH2708, which were committedH6213 beforeH6440 you, and that ye defileH2930 not yourselves therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
O LORDH3068, my strengthH5797, and my fortressH4581, and my refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of afflictionH6869, the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee from the endsH657 of the earthH776, and shall sayH559, Surely our fathersH1 have inheritedH5157 liesH8267, vanityH1892, and things wherein there is no profitH3276.
When I shall sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his own righteousnessH6666, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, all his righteousnessesH6666 shall not be rememberedH2142; but for his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213, he shall dieH4191 for it.
WhereforeH3861, O kingH4430, let my counselH4431 be acceptableH8232 unto theeH5922, and break offH6562 thy sinsH2408 by righteousnessH6665, and thine iniquitiesH5758 by shewing mercyH2604 to the poorH6033; ifH2006 it may beH1934 a lengtheningH754 of thy tranquillityH7963. {a lengthening…: or, an healing of thine error}
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?
If the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give againH7999 that he had robbedH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, without committingH6213 iniquityH5766; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
ThenG1161 the lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 was moved with compassionG4697, and loosedG630 himG846, andG2532 forgaveG863 himG846 the debtG1156.
ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whichG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 thatG3748 thou owestG3784. {pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.
AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784.
SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 unto theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096.
ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, after that he had calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou desiredstG3870 meG3165:
ShouldestG1163 notG3756 thouG4571 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571?
AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was wrothG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the tormentorsG930, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 unto himG846.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! becauseG3754 ye buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 garnishG2885 the sepulchresG3419 of the righteousG1342,
AndG2532 sayG3004, IfG1487 we had beenG2258 inG1722 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, we wouldG302 notG3756 have beenG2258 partakersG2844 with themG846 inG1722 the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.
WhereforeG5620 ye be witnessesG3140 unto yourselvesG1438, thatG3754 ye areG2075 the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophetsG4396.
FillG4137 yeG5210 upG4137 thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathersG3962.
Ye serpentsG3789, ye generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG5343 escapeG575 the damnationG2920 of hellG1067?
