Ezekiel 18:1 The word1697 of Jehovah3068 came unto me again, saying,5592 What mean ye, that ye use4911 this proverb4912 concerning{Or, in} the land127 of Israel,3478 saying,559 The fathers1 have eaten398 sour grapes,1155 and the children's1121 teeth8127 are set on edge?69493 As I live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 Jehovah,3069 ye shall not have occasion any more to use4911 this proverb4912 in Israel.34784 Behold, all souls5315 are mine; as the soul5315 of the father,1 so also the soul5315 of the son1121 is mine: the soul5315 that sinneth,2398 it shall die.4191
Ezekiel 18:5 But if a man376 be just,6662 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,66666 and hath not eaten398 upon the mountains,2022 neither hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to the idols1544 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 neither hath defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 wife,802 neither hath come near7126 to a woman802 in her impurity,50797 and hath not wronged3238 any,376 but hath restored7725 to the debtor2326 his pledge,2258 hath taken1497 nought by robbery,1500 hath given5414 his bread3899 to the hungry,7457 and hath covered3680 the naked5903 with a garment;8998 he that hath not given forth5414 upon interest,5392 neither hath taken3947 any increase,8636 that hath withdrawn7725 his hand3027 from iniquity,5766 hath executed6213 true571 justice4941 between man376 and man,3769 hath walked1980 in my statutes,2708 and hath kept8104 mine ordinances,4941 to deal6213 truly;571 he is just,6662 he shall surely2421 live,2421 saith5002 the Lord136 Jehovah.3069
Ezekiel 18:10 If he beget3205 a son1121 that is a robber,6530 a shedder8210 of blood,1818 and that{Or, that doeth to a brother any of these} doeth6213 any251 one of these things,25911 and that doeth6213 not any of those duties, but even hath eaten398 upon the mountains,2022 and defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 wife,80212 hath wronged3238 the poor6041 and needy,34 hath taken1497 by robbery,1500 hath not restored7725 the pledge,2258 and hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to the idols,1544 hath committed6213 abomination,844113 hath given forth5414 upon interest,5392 and hath taken3947 increase;8636 shall he then live?2425 he shall not live:2421 he hath done6213 all these abominations;8441 he shall surely4191 die;4191{Hebrew be put to death.} his blood shall be upon him.1818
Ezekiel 18:14 Now, lo, if he beget3205 a son,1121 that seeth7200 all his father's1 sins,2403 which he hath done,6213 and feareth,7200{Another reading is, seeth, or, considereth} and doeth6213 not such like;200415 that hath not eaten398 upon the mountains,2022 neither hath lifted up5375 his eyes5869 to the idols1544 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 hath not defiled2930 his neighbor's7453 wife,80216 neither hath wronged3238 any,376 hath not taken2254 aught to pledge,2258 neither hath taken1497 by robbery,1500 but hath given5414 his bread3899 to the hungry,7457 and hath covered3680 the naked5903 with a garment;89917 that hath withdrawn7725 his hand3027 from the poor,6041 that hath not received3947 interest5392 nor increase,8636 hath executed6213 mine ordinances,4941 hath walked1980 in my statutes;2708 he shall not die4191 for the iniquity5771 of his father,1 he shall surely2421 live.242118 As for his father,1 because he cruelly6233 oppressed,6231 robbed14971499 his brother,251 and did6213 that which is not good2896 among8432 his people,5971 behold, he shall die4191 in{Or, for} his iniquity.5771
Ezekiel 18:19 Yet say559 ye, Wherefore doth not the son1121 bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the father?1 When the son1121 hath done6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 and hath kept8104 all my statutes,2708 and hath done6213 them, he shall surely2421 live.242120 The soul5315 that sinneth,2398 it shall die:4191 the son1121 shall not bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the father,1 neither shall the father1 bear5375 the iniquity5771 of the son;1121 the righteousness6666 of the righteous6662 shall be upon him, and the wickedness7564 of the wicked shall be upon him.7563
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked7563 turn7725 from all his sins2403 that he hath committed,6213 and keep8104 all my statutes,2708 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he shall surely2421 live,2421 he shall not die.419122 None of his transgressions6588 that he hath committed6213 shall be remembered2142 against him: in his righteousness6666 that he hath done6213 he shall live.242123 Have I any2654 pleasure2654 in the death4194 of the wicked?7563 saith5002 the Lord136 Jehovah;3069 and not rather that he should return7725 from his way,1870 and live?242124 But when the righteous6662 turneth away7725 from his righteousness,6666 and committeth6213 iniquity,5766 and doeth6213 according to all the abominations8441 that the wicked7563 man doeth,6213 shall he live?2425 None of his righteous6666 deeds that he hath done6213 shall be remembered:2142 in his trespass4603 that he hath trespassed,4604 and in his sin2403 that he hath sinned,2398 in them shall he die.4191
Ezekiel 18:25 Yet ye say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 Hear8085 now, O house1004 of Israel:3478 Is not my way1870 equal?8505 are not your ways1870 unequal?850526 When the righteous6662 man turneth away7725 from his righteousness,6666 and committeth6213 iniquity,5766 and{Or, he shall die} dieth4191 therein;{Or, because of it} in{Or, for} his iniquity5766 that he hath done6213 shall he die.419127 Again, when the wicked7563 man turneth away7725 from his wickedness7564 that he hath committed,6213 and doeth6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he shall save2421 his soul5315 alive.242128 Because he considereth,7200 and turneth away7725 from all his transgressions6588 that he hath committed,6213 he shall surely2421 live,2421 he shall not die.419129 Yet saith559 the house1004 of Israel,3478 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 O house1004 of Israel,3478 are not my ways1870 equal?8505 are not your ways1870 unequal?850530 Therefore I will judge8199 you, O house1004 of Israel,3478 every one376 according to his ways,1870 saith5002 the Lord136 Jehovah.3069 Return7725 ye, and turn7725 yourselves from all your transgressions;6588 so{Or, so shall they not be a stumblingblock of iniquity unto you} iniquity5771 shall not be your ruin.4383{Hebrew stumblingblock.}31 Cast away7993 from you all your transgressions,6588 wherein ye have transgressed;6586 and make6213 you a new2319 heart3820 and a new2319 spirit:7307 for why will ye die,4191 O house1004 of Israel?347832 For I have no pleasure2654 in the death4194 of him that dieth,4191 saith5002 the Lord136 Jehovah:136 wherefore turn7725 yourselves, and live.2421
