Ezekiel 33:1 ¶ The word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to me, saying,559 cr 2 Son1121 of man,120 speak1696 to the children1121 of your people,5971 and tell559 them, When I bring935 the sword2719 on a land,776 and the people5971 of the land776 take3947 a259 man376 from among7097 them, and set5414 him for their watchman;6822 cr 3 if, when he sees7200 the sword2719 come935 on the land,776 he blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and warn2094 the people;5971 cr 4 then whoever8085 hears8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and doesn't take warning,2094 if the sword2719 come,935 and take him away,3947 his blood1818 shall be on his own head.7218 cr 5 He heard8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and didn't take warning;2094 his blood1818 shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning,2094 he would have delivered4422 his soul.5315 cr 6 But if the watchman6822 sees7200 the sword2719 come,935 and doesn't blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and the people5971 aren't warned,2094 and the sword2719 comes,935 and take3947 any person5315 from among them; he is taken away3947 in his iniquity,5771 but his blood1818 will I require1875 at the watchman's6822 hand.3027 cr 7 So you, son1121 of man,120 I have set5414 you a watchman6822 to the house1004 of Israel;3478 therefore hear8085 the word1697 at my mouth,6310 and give them warning2094 from me. cr 8 When I tell559 the wicked,7563 O wicked7563 man, you shall surely4191 die,4191 and you don't speak1696 to warn2094 the wicked7563 from his way;1870 that wicked7563 man shall die4191 in his iniquity,5771 but his blood1818 will I require1245 at your hand.3027 cr 9 Nevertheless, if you warn2094 the wicked7563 of his way1870 to turn7725 from it, and he doesn't turn7725 from his way;1870 he shall die4191 in his iniquity,5771 but you have delivered5337 your soul.5315 cr 10 You, son1121 of man,120 tell559 the house1004 of Israel:3478 Thus you speak,559 saying,559 Our transgressions6588 and our sins2403 are on us, and we pine away4743 in them; how then can we live?2421 cr 11 Tell559 them, As I live,2416 says559 the Lord136 Yahweh,3069 I have no pleasure2654 in the death4194 of the wicked;7563 but that the wicked7563 turn7725 from his way1870 and live:2421 turn,7725 turn7725 from your evil7451 ways;1870 for why will you die,4191 house1004 of Israel?3478 cr 12 You, son1121 of man,120 tell559 the children1121 of your people,5971 The righteousness6666 of the righteous6662 shall not deliver5337 him in the day3117 of his disobedience;6588 and as for the wickedness7564 of the wicked,7563 he shall not fall3782 thereby in the day3117 that he turns7725 from his wickedness;7562 neither shall he who is righteous6662 be able3201 to live2421 thereby in the day3117 that he sins.2398 cr 13 When I tell559 the righteous,6662 that he shall surely2421 live;2421 if he trust982 to his righteousness,6666 and commit6213 iniquity,5766 none of his righteous6666 deeds shall be remembered;2142 but in his iniquity5766 that he has committed,6213 therein shall he die.4191 cr 14 Again, when I say559 to the wicked,7563 You shall surely4191 die;4191 if he turn7725 from his sin,2403 and do6213 that which is lawful4941 and right;6666 cr 15 if the wicked7563 restore7725 the pledge,2258 give again7999 that which he had taken by robbery,1500 walk1980 in the statutes2708 of life,2416 committing6213 no iniquity;5766 he shall surely2421 live,2421 he shall not die.4191 cr 16 None of his sins2403 that he has committed2398 shall be remembered2142 against him: he has done6213 that which is lawful4941 and right;6666 he shall surely2421 live.2421 cr 17 Yet the children1121 of your people5971 say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal:8505 but as for them, their way1870 is not equal.8505 cr 18 When the righteous6662 turns7725 from his righteousness,6666 and commits6213 iniquity,5766 he shall even die4191 therein. cr 19 When the wicked7563 turns7725 from his wickedness,7564 and does6213 that which is lawful4941 and right,6666 he shall live2421 thereby. cr 20 Yet you say,559 The way1870 of the Lord136 is not equal.8505 House1004 of Israel,3478 I will judge8199 every one376 of you after his ways.1870 cr 21 It happened in the twelfth8147 year8141 of our captivity,1546 in the tenth6224 month, in the fifth2568 day of the month,2320 that one who had escaped6412 out of Jerusalem3389 came935 to me, saying,559 The city5892 has been struck.5221 cr 22 Now the hand3027 of Yahweh3068 had been on me in the evening,6153 before6440 he who was escaped6412 came;935 and he had opened6605 my mouth,6310 until he came935 to me in the morning;1242 and my mouth6310 was opened,6605 and I was no more mute.481 cr 23 The word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to me, saying,559 cr 24 Son1121 of man,120 they who inhabit3427 those waste2723 places in the land127 of Israel3478 speak,559 saying,559 Abraham85 was one,259 and he inherited3423 the land:776 but we are many;7227 the land776 is given5414 us for inheritance.4181 cr 25 Therefore tell559 them, Thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:3069 You eat398 with the blood,1818 and lift up5375 your eyes5869 to your idols,1544 and shed8210 blood:1818 and shall you possess3423 the land?776 cr 26 You stand5975 on your sword,2719 you work6213 abomination,8441 and every one376 of you defiles2930 his neighbor's7453 wife:802 and shall you possess3423 the land?776 cr 27 You shall tell559 them, Thus says559 the Lord136 Yahweh:3069 As I live,2416 surely those who are in the waste2723 places shall fall5307 by the sword;2719 and him who is in the open6440 field7704 will I give5414 to the animals2416 to be devoured;398 and those who are in the strongholds4679 and in the caves4631 shall die4191 of the pestilence.1698 cr 28 I will make5414 the land776 a desolation8077 and an astonishment;8077 and the pride1347 of her power5797 shall cease;7673 and the mountains2022 of Israel3478 shall be desolate,8074 so that none shall pass through.5674 cr 29 Then shall they know3045 that I am Yahweh,3068 when I have made5414 the land776 a desolation8077 and an astonishment,8077 because of all their abominations8441 which they have committed.6213 cr 30 As for you, son1121 of man,120 the children1121 of your people5971 talk1696 of681 you by the walls7023 and in the doors6607 of the houses,1004 and speak1696 one2297 to another,259 everyone376 to his brother,251 saying,559 Please come935 and hear8085 what is the word1697 that comes forth3318 from Yahweh.3068 cr 31 They come935 to you as the people5971 come,3996 and they sit3427 before6440 you as my people,5971 and they hear8085 your words,1697 but don't do6213 them; for with their mouth6310 they show6213 much love,5690 but their heart3820 goes1980 after310 their gain.1215 cr 32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely5690 song7892 of one who has a pleasant3303 voice,6963 and can play well2895 on an instrument;5059 for they hear8085 your words,1697 but they don't do6213 them. cr 33 When this comes to pass,935 (behold, it comes),935 then shall they know3045 that a prophet5030 has been among8432 them. cr
