Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and sayH559 unto them, When I bringH935 the swordH2719 upon a landH776, if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 takeH3947 aH259 manH376 of their coastsH7097, and setH5414 him for their watchmanH6822: {When…: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her}
If when he seethH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935 upon the landH776, he blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094 the peopleH5971;
Then whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and take him awayH3947, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218. {whosoever…: Heb. he that hearing heareth}
He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315.
But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman'sH6822 handH3027.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
Therefore, O thou sonH1121 of manH120, speakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Thus ye speakH559, sayingH559, If our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 be upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them, how should we then liveH2421?
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?
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588: as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fallH3782 thereby in the dayH3117 that he turnethH7725 from his wickednessH7562; neither shall the righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 for his righteousness in the dayH3117 that he sinnethH2398.
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.
Again, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; {that…: Heb. judgment and justice}
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.
None of his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH2398 shall be mentionedH2142 unto him: he hath doneH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equalH8505.
When the righteousH6662 turnethH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, he shall even dieH4191 thereby.
But if the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wickednessH7564, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall liveH2421 thereby.
Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, I will judgeH8199 you every oneH376 after his waysH1870.
And it came to pass in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the tenthH6224 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, that one that had escapedH6412 out of JerusalemH3389 cameH935 unto me, sayingH559, The cityH5892 is smittenH5221.
Now the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me in the eveningH6153, aforeH6440 he that was escapedH6412 cameH935; and had openedH6605 my mouthH6310, until he cameH935 to me in the morningH1242; and my mouthH6310 was openedH6605, and I was no more dumbH481.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, they that inhabitH3427 those wastesH2723 of the landH127 of IsraelH3478 speakH559, sayingH559, AbrahamH85 was oneH259, and he inheritedH3423 the landH776: but we are manyH7227; the landH776 is givenH5414 us for inheritanceH4181.
Wherefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Ye eatH398 with the bloodH1818, and lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 toward your idolsH1544, and shedH8210 bloodH1818: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
Ye standH5975 upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213 abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930 every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
SayH559 thou thus unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely they that are in the wastesH2723 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and him that is in the openH6440 fieldH7704 will I giveH5414 to the beastsH2416 to be devouredH398, and they that be in the fortsH4679 and in the cavesH4631 shall dieH4191 of the pestilenceH1698. {to be…: Heb. to devour him}
For I will layH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074, that none shall pass throughH5674. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have laidH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077 because of all their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 still are talkingH1696 againstH681 thee by the wallsH7023 and in the doorsH6607 of the housesH1004, and speakH1696 oneH2297 to anotherH259, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, sayingH559, ComeH935, I pray you, and hearH8085 what is the wordH1697 that cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068. {against thee: of, of thee}
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895 on an instrumentH5059: for they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them not. {a very…: Heb. a song of loves}
And when this cometh to passH935, (lo, it will comeH935,) then shall they knowH3045 that a prophetH5030 hath been amongH8432 them.

And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
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,
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 the landH776 is defiledH2930: therefore I do visitH6485 the iniquityH5771 thereof upon it, and the landH776 itself vomiteth outH6958 her inhabitantsH3427.
WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
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:
(For all theseH411 abominationsH8441 have the menH582 of the landH776 doneH6213, which were beforeH6440 you, and the landH776 is defiledH2930;)
That the landH776 spue not you outH6958 also, when ye defileH2930 it, as it spued outH6958 the nationsH1471 that were beforeH6440 you.
For whosoever shall commitH6213 any of these abominationsH8441, even the soulsH5315 that commitH6213 them shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 their peopleH5971.
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.
And that doethH6213 not any of those duties, but even hath eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022, and defiledH2930 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802,
That the landH776 spue not you outH6958 also, when ye defileH2930 it, as it spued outH6958 the nationsH1471 that were beforeH6440 you.
And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375: so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. {oppress: or, defraud}
If a manH376 also lieH7901 with mankindH2145, as he liethH4904 with a womanH802, bothH8147 of them have committedH6213 an abominationH8441: they shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them.
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,
Ye shall therefore keepH8104 all my statutesH2708, and all my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them: that the landH776, whither I bringH935 you to dwellH3427 therein, spue you not outH6958.
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633 till the morrowH1242.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
When thou shalt begetH3205 childrenH1121, and children'sH1121 childrenH1121, and ye shall have remained longH3462 in the landH776, and shall corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of any thing, and shall doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to provoke him to angerH3707:
ForG1063 the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 usG2254 to have wroughtG2716 the willG2307 of the GentilesG1484, when we walkedG4198 inG1722 lasciviousnessG766, lustsG1939, excess of wineG3632, revellingsG2970, banquetingsG4224, andG2532 abominableG111 idolatriesG1495:
They were as fedH2109 horsesH5483 in the morningH7904: every oneH376 neighedH6670 after his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802.
I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soonH4118 utterlyH6 perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterlyH8045 be destroyedH8045.
ButG1161 the fearfulG1169, andG2532 unbelievingG571, andG2532 the abominableG948, andG2532 murderersG5406, andG2532 whoremongersG4205, andG2532 sorcerersG5332, andG2532 idolatersG1496, andG2532 allG3956 liarsG5571, shall have theirG846 partG3313 inG1722 the lakeG3041 whichG3588 burnethG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303: which isG3603 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939; {gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh}
And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085 the wordsH1697 of this curseH423, that he blessH1288 himself in his heartH3824, sayingH559, I shall have peaceH7965, thoughH3588 I walkH3212 in the imaginationH8307 of mine heartH3820, to addH5595 drunkennessH7302 to thirstH6771: {imagination: or, stubbornness} {drunkenness…: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty}
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
And the LORDH3068 shall separateH914 him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 of the lawH8451: {are: Heb. is}
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
AndG2532 there shallG1525 in no wiseG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 itG846 any thingG3956 that defilethG2840, neitherG2532 whatsoever workethG4160 abominationG946, orG2532 maketh a lieG5579: butG1508 they which are writtenG1125 inG1722 the Lamb'sG721 bookG975 of lifeG2222.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
When ye have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680 you, and have goneH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saithH559, What hast thou to do to declareH5608 my statutesH2706, or that thou shouldest takeH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?
Seeing thou hatestH8130 instructionH4148, and castestH7993 my wordsH1697 behindH310 thee.
When thou sawestH7200 a thiefH1590, then thou consentedstH7521 with him, and hast been partakerH2506 with adulterersH5003. {hast…: Heb. thy portion was with}
Thou givestH7971 thy mouthH6310 to evilH7451, and thy tongueH3956 framethH6775 deceitH4820. {givest: Heb. sendest}
Thou sittestH3427 and speakestH1696 against thy brotherH251; thouH5414 slanderestH1848 thine own mother'sH517 sonH1121.
