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}

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}
And the LORDH3068 passed byH5674 before himH6440, and proclaimedH7121, The LORDH3068, The LORDH3068 GodH410, mercifulH7349 and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and abundantH7227 in goodnessH2617 and truthH571,
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
KeepingH5341 mercyH2617 for thousandsH505, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588 and sinH2403, and that will by no meansH5352 clearH5352 the guilty; visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121, and upon the children'sH1121 children, unto the thirdH8029 and to the fourthH7256 generation.
For he doth not afflictH6031 willinglyH3820 nor grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376. {willingly: Heb. from his heart}
He lookethH7789 upon menH582, and if any sayH559, I have sinnedH2398, and pervertedH5753 that which was rightH3477, and it profitedH7737 me not; {He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say}
How shall I give thee upH5414, EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042 thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414 thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760 thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648 togetherH3162.
He will deliverH6299 his soulH5315 from goingH5674 into the pitH7845, and his lifeH2416 shall seeH7200 the lightH216. {He…: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life}
WhoG3739 will haveG2309 allG3956 menG444 to be savedG4982, andG2532 to comeG2064 untoG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
The LORDH3068 taketh pleasureH7521 in them that fearH3373 him, in those that hopeH3176 in his mercyH2617.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG5216, havingG2192 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, ifG2532 he loseG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, dothG2641 notG3756 leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1768 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 that which is lostG622, untilG2193 he findG2147 itG846?
AndG2532 when he hath foundG2147 it, he layethG2007 it onG1909 hisG1438 shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463.
AndG2532 when he comethG2064+G1519 homeG3624, he calleth togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighboursG1069, sayingG3004 unto themG846, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG3450 sheepG4263 whichG3588 was lostG622.
I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 likewiseG3779 joyG5479 shall beG2071 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340, more thanG2228 overG1909 ninety and nineG1768 just personsG1342, whichG3748 needG2192+G5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.
LikewiseG3779, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, there isG1096 joyG5479 in the presenceG1799 of the angelsG32 of GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340.
ButG1161 the fatherG3962 saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG1401, Bring forthG1627 the bestG4413 robeG4749, andG2532 put it onG1746 himG846; andG2532 putG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 shoesG5266 onG1519 his feetG4228:
AndG2532 bring hitherG5342 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, and killG2380 it; andG2532 let us eatG5315, and be merryG2165:
ForG3754 thisG3778 myG3450 sonG5207 wasG2258 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326+G2532; he wasG2258 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147. AndG2532 they beganG756 to be merryG2165.
