“But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.

But when the righteous H6662 turneth away H7725 (QalInf) from his righteousness, H6666 and committeth H6213 (QalPerf) iniquity, H5766 [and] doeth H6213 (QalImpf) according to all the abominations H8441 that the wicked H7563 [man] doeth, H6213 (QalPerf) shall he live? H2425 (QalPerf) All his righteousness H6666 that he hath done H6213 (QalPerf) shall not be mentioned: H2142 (NiphImpf) in his trespass H4603 (QalPerf) that he hath trespassed, H4604 and in his sin H2403 that he hath sinned, H2398 (QalPerf) in them shall he die. H4191 (QalImpf)

And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth-thus he liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth die.

Ezekiel 20:11 (100.00%)

I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

And I gave H5414 (QalImpf) them my statutes, H2708 and shewed H3045 (HiphPerf) them my judgments, H4941 which [if] a man H120 do, H6213 (QalImpf) he shall even live H2425 (QalPerf) in them.

And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth-liveth by them.

Ezekiel 20:13 (100.00%)

“ ‘ “But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

But the house H1004 of Israel H3478 rebelled H4784 (HiphImpf) against me in the wilderness: H4057 they walked H1980 (QalPerf) not in my statutes, H2708 and they despised H3988 (QalPerf) my judgments, H4941 which [if] a man H120 do, H6213 (QalImpf) he shall even live H2425 (QalPerf) in them; and my sabbaths H7676 they greatly H3966 polluted: H2490 (PielPerf) then I said, H559 (QalImpf) I would pour out H8210 (QalInf) my fury H2534 upon them in the wilderness, H4057 to consume H3615 (PielInf) them.

And-rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth-liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
