Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying, 559-2 |
| 2 |
Son 1121 of man, 120 speak 1696-16 to the children 1121 of thy people, 5971 and say 559-1 unto them, When I bring 935-55 the sword 2719 upon a land, 776 if the people 5971 of the land 776 take 3947-1 a 259 man 376 of their coasts, 7097 and set 5414-1 him for their watchman: 6822-6 |
| 3 |
If when he seeth 7200-1 the sword 2719 come 935-6 upon the land, 776 he blow 8628-1 the trumpet, 7782 and warn 2094-52 the people; 5971 |
| 4 |
Then whosoever 8085-6 heareth 8085-1 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 and taketh not warning; 2094-12 if the sword 2719 come, 935-4 and take him away, 3947-4 his blood 1818 shall be upon his own head. 7218 |
| 5 |
He heard 8085-1 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 and took not warning; 2094-12 his blood 1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning 2094-12 shall deliver 4422-14 his soul. 5315 |
| 6 |
But if the watchman 6822-6 see 7200-4 the sword 2719 come, 935-6 and blow 8628-1 not the trumpet, 7782 and the people 5971 be not warned; 2094-12 if the sword 2719 come, 935-4 and take 3947-4 [any] person 5315 from among them, he is taken away 3947-8 in his iniquity; 5771 but his blood 1818 will I require 1875-4 at the watchman's 6822-6 hand. 3027 |
| 7 |
So thou, O son 1121 of man, 120 I have set 5414-1 thee a watchman 6822-6 unto the house 1004 of Israel; 3478 therefore thou shalt hear 8085-1 the word 1697 at my mouth, 6310 and warn 2094-52 them from me. |
| 8 |
When I say 559-2 unto the wicked, 7563 O wicked 7563 [man], thou shalt surely 4191-2 die; 4191-4 if thou dost not speak 1696-14 to warn 2094-53 the wicked 7563 from his way, 1870 that wicked 7563 [man] shall die 4191-4 in his iniquity; 5771 but his blood 1818 will I require 1245-17 at thine hand. 3027 |
| 9 |
Nevertheless, if thou warn 2094-52 the wicked 7563 of his way 1870 to turn 7725-2 from it; if he do not turn 7725-1 from his way, 1870 he shall die 4191-4 in his iniquity; 5771 but thou hast delivered 5337-52 thy soul. 5315 |
| 10 |
Therefore, O thou son 1121 of man, 120 speak 559-3 unto the house 1004 of Israel; 3478 Thus ye speak, 559-1 saying, 559-2 If our transgressions 6588 and our sins 2403 [be] upon us, and we pine away 4743-12 in them, how should we then live? 2421-4 |
| 11 |
Say 559-3 unto them, [As] I live, 2416 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 I have no pleasure 2654-4 in the death 4194 of the wicked; 7563 but that the wicked 7563 turn 7725-2 from his way 1870 and live: 2421-1 turn 7725-3 ye, turn 7725-3 ye from your evil 7451 ways; 1870 for why will ye die, 4191-4 O house 1004 of Israel? 3478 |
| 12 |
Therefore, thou son 1121 of man, 120 say 559-3 unto the children 1121 of thy people, 5971 The righteousness 6666 of the righteous 6662 shall not deliver 5337-55 him in the day 3117 of his transgression: 6588 as for the wickedness 7564 of the wicked, 7563 he shall not fall 3782-11 thereby in the day 3117 that he turneth 7725-2 from his wickedness; 7562 neither shall the righteous 6662 be able 3201-4 to live 2421-2 for his [righteousness] in the day 3117 that he sinneth. 2398-2 |
| 13 |
When I shall say 559-2 to the righteous, 6662 [that] he shall surely 2421-2 live; 2421-4 if he trust 982-1 to his own righteousness, 6666 and commit 6213-1 iniquity, 57 6 all his righteousnesses 6666 shall not be remembered; 2142-11 but for his iniquity 57 6 that he hath committed, 6213-1 he shall die 4191-4 for it. |
| 14 |
Again, when I say 559-2 unto the wicked, 7563 Thou shalt surely 4191-2 die; 4191-4 if he turn 7725-1 from his sin, 2403 and do 6213-1 that which is lawful 4941 and right; 6666 |
| 15 |
[If] the wicked 7563 restore 7725-55 the pledge, 2258 give again 7999-17 that he had robbed, 1500 walk 1980-1 in the statutes 2708 of life, 2416 without committing 6213-2 iniquity; 5766 he shall surely 2421-2 live, 2421-4 he shall not die. 4191-4 |
| 16 |
None of his sins 2403 that he hath committed 2398-1 shall be mentioned 2142-11 unto him: he hath done 6213-1 that which is lawful 4941 and right; 6666 he shall surely 2421-2 live. 2421-4 |
| 17 |
Yet the children 1121 of thy people 5971 say, 559-1 The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not equal: 8505-11 but as for them, their way 1870 is not equal. 8505-11 |
| 18 |
When the righteous 6662 turneth 7725-2 from his righteousness, 6666 and committeth 6213-1 iniquity, 5766 he shall even die 4191-1 thereby. |
| 19 |
But if the wicked 7563 turn 7725-2 from his wickedness, 7564 and do 6213-1 that which is lawful 4941 and right, 6666 he shall live 2421-4 thereby. |
| 20 |
Yet ye say, 559-1 The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not equal. 8505-11 O ye house 1004 of Israel, 3478 I will judge 8199-4 you every one 376 after his ways. 1870 |
| 21 |
And it came to pass in the twelfth 8147 6240 year 8141 of our captivity, 1546 in the tenth 6224 [month], in the fifth 2568 [day] of the month, 2320 [that] one that had escaped 6412 out of Jerusalem 3389 came 935-1 unto me, saying, 559-2 The city 5892 is smitten. 5221-90 |
| 22 |
Now the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was upon me in the evening, 6153 afore 6440 he that was escaped 6412 came; 935-2 and had opened 6605-4 my mouth, 6310 until he came 935-2 to me in the morning; 1242 and my mouth 6310 was opened, 6605-11 and I was no more dumb. 481-8 |
| 23 |
Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying, 559-2 |
| 24 |
Son 1121 of man, 120 they that inhabit 3427-6 those wastes 2723 of the land 127 of Israel 3478 speak, 559-6 saying, 559-2 Abraham 85 was one, 259 and he inherited 3423-4 the land: 776 but we [are] many; 7227 the land 776 is given 5414-8 us for inheritance. 4181 |
| 25 |
Wherefore say 559-3 unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Ye eat 398-4 with the blood, 1818 and lift up 5375-4 your eyes 5869 toward your idols, 1544 and shed 8210-4 blood: 1818 and shall ye possess 3423-4 the land? 776 |
| 26 |
Ye stand 5975-1 upon your sword, 2719 ye work 6213-1 abomination, 8441 and ye defile 2930-14 every one 376 his neighbour's 7453 wife: 802 and shall ye possess 3423-4 the land? 776 |
| 27 |
Say 559-4 thou thus unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 [As] I live, 2416 surely they that [are] in the wastes 2723 shall fall 5307-4 by the sword, 2719 and him that [is] in the open 6440 field 7704 will I give 5414-1 to the beasts 2416 to be devoured, 398-2 and they that [be] in the forts 4679 and in the caves 4631 shall die 4191-4 of the pestilence. 1698 |
| 28 |
For I will lay 5414-1 the land 776 most desolate, 8077 4923 and the pomp 1347 of her strength 5797 shall cease; 7673-8 and the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 shall be desolate, 8074-1 that none shall pass through. 5674-6 |
| 29 |
Then shall they know 3045-1 that I [am] the LORD, 3068 when I have laid 5414-2 the land 776 most desolate 8077 4923 because of all their abominations 8441 which they have committed. 6213-1 |
| 30 |
Also, thou son 1121 of man, 120 the children 1121 of thy people 5971 still are talking 1696-12 against thee by 681 the walls 7023 and in the doors 6607 of the houses, 1004 and speak 1696-14 one 2297 to another, 259 every one 376 to his brother, 251 saying, 559-2 Come, 935-3 I pray you, and hear 8085-3 what is the word 1697 that cometh forth 3318-6 from the LORD. 3068 |
| 31 |
And they come 935-4 unto thee as the people 5971 cometh, 3996 and they sit 3427-4 before 6440 thee [as] my people, 5971 and they hear 8085-1 thy words, 1697 but they will not do 6213-4 them: for with their mouth 6310 they shew 6213-6 much love, 5690 [but] their heart 3820 goeth 1980-6 after 310 their covetousness. 1215 |
| 32 |
And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely 5690 song 7892 of one that hath a pleasant 3303 voice, 6963 and can play 5059-15 well 2895-56 on an instrument: for they hear 8085-1 thy words, 1697 but they do 6213-6 them not. |
| 33 |
And when this cometh to pass, 935-2 (lo, it will come,) 935-6 then shall they know 3045-1 that a prophet 5030 hath been among 8432 them. |
