[1] Yahweh’s word came to me again, saying, [2] “What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying,
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? [3] “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel. [4] Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die. [5] “But if a man is just,
and does that which is lawful and right,
[6] and has not eaten on the mountains,
hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,
hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity,
[7] and has not wronged any,
but has restored to the debtor his pledge,
has taken nothing by robbery,
has given his bread to the hungry,
and has covered the naked with a garment;
[8] he who hasn’t lent to them with interest,
hasn’t taken any increase from them,
who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
has executed true justice between man and man,
[9] has walked in my statutes,
and has kept my ordinances,
to deal truly;
he is just,
he shall surely live,” says the Lord Yahweh. [10] “If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things, [11] or who does not do any of those things
but has eaten at the mountain shrines
and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
[12] has wronged the poor and needy,
has taken by robbery,
has not restored the pledge,
and has lifted up his eyes to the idols,
has committed abomination,
[13] has lent with interest,
and has taken increase from the poor, [14] “Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and doesn’t do likewise,
[15] who hasn’t eaten on the mountains,
hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,
[16] hasn’t wronged any,
hasn’t taken anything to pledge,
hasn’t taken by robbery,
but has given his bread to the hungry,
and has covered the naked with a garment;
[17] who has withdrawn his hand from the poor,
who hasn’t received interest or increase,
has executed my ordinances,
has walked in my statutes; [18] As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity. [19] “Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live. [20] The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. [21] “But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die. [22] None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live. [23] Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh, “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live? [24] “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. [25] “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal? [26] When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, then he dies in his iniquity that he has done. [27] Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive. [28] Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die. [29] Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair? [30] “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin. [31] Cast away from you all your transgressions in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, house of Israel? [32] For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live!

[1] The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto me again, saying,H559(QalInf) [2] What mean ye, that ye useH4911(QalActPtc) this proverbH4912 concerning the landH127 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559(QalInf) The fathersH1 have eatenH398(QalImpf) sour grapes,H1155 and the children’sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edge?H6949(QalImpf) [3] [As] I live,H2416 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God,H3069 ye shall not have [occasion] any more to useH4911(QalInf) this proverbH4912 in Israel.H3478 [4] Behold, all soulsH5315 are mine; as the soulH5315 of the father,H1 so also the soulH5315 of the sonH1121 is mine: the soulH5315 that sinneth,H2398(QalActPtc) it shall die.H4191(QalImpf) [5] But if a manH376 be just,H6662 and doH6213(QalPerf) that which is lawfulH4941 and right,H6666 [6] [And] hath not eatenH398(QalPerf) upon the mountains,H2022 neither hath lifted upH5375(QalPerf) his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 neither hath defiledH2930(PielPerf) his neighbour’sH7453 wife,H802 neither hath come nearH7126(QalImpf) to a menstruousH5079 woman,H802 [7] And hath not oppressedH3238(HiphImpf) any,H376 [but] hath restoredH7725(HiphImpf) to the debtorH2326 his pledge,H2258 hath spoiledH1497(QalImpf) none by violence,H1500 hath givenH5414(QalImpf) his breadH3899 to the hungry,H7457 and hath coveredH3680(PielImpf) the nakedH5903 with a garment;H899 [8] He [that] hath not given forthH5414(QalImpf) upon usury,H5392 neither hath takenH3947(QalImpf) any increase,H8636 [that] hath withdrawnH7725(HiphImpf) his handH3027 from iniquity,H5766 hath executedH6213(QalImpf) trueH571 judgmentH4941 between manH376 and man,H376 [9] Hath walkedH1980(PielImpf) in my statutes,H2708 and hath keptH8104(QalPerf) my judgments,H4941 to dealH6213(QalInf) truly;H571 he [is] just,H6662 he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live,H2421(QalImpf) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God.H3069 [10] If he begetH3205(HiphPerf) a sonH1121 [that is] a robber,H6530 a shedderH8210(QalActPtc) of blood,H1818 and [that] doethH6213(QalPerf) the likeH251 to [any] oneH259 of these [things], [11] And that doethH6213(QalPerf) not any of those [duties], but even hath eatenH398(QalPerf) upon the mountains,H2022 and defiledH2930(PielPerf) his neighbour’sH7453 wife,H802 [12] Hath oppressedH3238(HiphPerf) the poorH6041 and needy,H34 hath spoiledH1497(QalPerf) by violence,H1500 hath not restoredH7725(HiphImpf) the pledge,H2258 and hath lifted upH5375(QalPerf) his eyesH5869 to the idols,H1544 hath committedH6213(QalPerf) abomination,H8441 [13] Hath given forthH5414(QalPerf) upon usury,H5392 and hath takenH3947(QalPerf) increase:H8636 shall he then live?H2425(QalPerf) he shall not live:H2421(QalImpf) he hath doneH6213(QalPerf) all these abominations;H8441 he shall surelyH4191(QalInf) die;H4191(HophImpf) his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. [14] Now, lo, [if] he begetH3205(HiphPerf) a son,H1121 that seethH7200(QalImpf) all his father’sH1 sinsH2403 which he hath done,H6213(QalPerf) and considereth,H7200(QalImpf) and doethH6213(QalImpf) not such like,H2004 [15] [That] hath not eatenH398(QalPerf) upon the mountains,H2022 neither hath lifted upH5375(QalPerf) his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 hath not defiledH2930(PielPerf) his neighbour’sH7453 wife,H802 [16] Neither hath oppressedH3238(HiphPerf) any,H376 hath not withholdenH2254(QalPerf) the pledge,H2258 neither hath spoiledH1497(QalPerf) by violence,H1500 [but] hath givenH5414(QalPerf) his breadH3899 to the hungry,H7457 and hath coveredH3680(PielPerf) the nakedH5903 with a garment,H899 [17] [That] hath taken offH7725(HiphPerf) his handH3027 from the poor,H6041 [that] hath not receivedH3947(QalPerf) usuryH5392 nor increase,H8636 hath executedH6213(QalPerf) my judgments,H4941 hath walkedH1980(QalPerf) in my statutes;H2708 he shall not dieH4191(QalImpf) for the iniquityH5771 of his father,H1 he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live.H2421(QalImpf) [18] [As for] his father,H1 because he cruellyH6233 oppressed,H6231(QalPerf) spoiledH1497(QalPerf) his brotherH251 by violence,H1499 and didH6213(QalPerf) [that] which [is] not goodH2896 amongH8432 his people,H5971 lo, even he shall dieH4191(QalPtc) in his iniquity.H5771 [19] Yet sayH559(QalPerf) ye, Why? doth not the sonH1121 bearH5375(QalPerf) the iniquityH5771 of the father?H1 When the sonH1121 hath doneH6213(QalPerf) that which is lawfulH4941 and right,H6666 [and] hath keptH8104(QalPerf) all my statutes,H2708 and hath doneH6213(QalImpf) them, he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live.H2421(QalImpf) [20] The soulH5315 that sinneth,H2398(QalActPtc) it shall die.H4191(QalImpf) The sonH1121 shall not bearH5375(QalImpf) the iniquityH5771 of the father,H1 neither shall the fatherH1 bearH5375(QalImpf) the iniquityH5771 of the son:H1121 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall be upon him, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 shall be upon him. [21] But if the wickedH7563 will turnH7725(QalImpf) from all his sinsH2403 that he hath committed,H6213(QalPerf) and keepH8104(QalPerf) all my statutes,H2708 and doH6213(QalPerf) that which is lawfulH4941 and right,H6666 he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live,H2421(QalImpf) he shall not die.H4191(QalImpf) [22] All his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committed,H6213(QalPerf) they shall not be mentionedH2142(NiphImpf) unto him: in his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213(QalPerf) he shall live.H2421(QalImpf) [23] Have I any pleasureH2654(QalImpf) at allH2654(QalInf) that the wickedH7563 should die?H4194 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God:H3069 [and] not that he should returnH7725(QalInf) from his ways,H1870 and live?H2421(QalPerf) [24] But when the righteousH6662 turneth awayH7725(QalInf) from his righteousness,H6666 and committethH6213(QalPerf) iniquity,H5766 [and] doethH6213(QalImpf) according to all the abominationsH8441 that the wickedH7563 [man] doeth,H6213(QalPerf) shall he live?H2425(QalPerf) All his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213(QalPerf) shall not be mentioned:H2142(NiphImpf) in his trespassH4603(QalPerf) that he hath trespassed,H4604 and in his sinH2403 that he hath sinned,H2398(QalPerf) in them shall he die.H4191(QalImpf) [25] Yet ye say,H559(QalPerf) The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equal.H8505(NiphImpf) HearH8085(QalImpv) now, O houseH1004 of Israel;H3478 Is not my wayH1870 equal?H8505(NiphImpf) are not your waysH1870 unequal?H8505(NiphImpf) [26] When a righteousH6662 [man] turneth awayH7725(QalInf) from his righteousness,H6666 and committethH6213(QalPerf) iniquity,H5766 and diethH4191(QalPerf) in them; for his iniquityH5766 that he hath doneH6213(QalPerf) shall he die.H4191(QalImpf) [27] Again, when the wickedH7563 [man] turneth awayH7725(QalInf) from his wickednessH7564 that he hath committed,H6213(QalPerf) and doethH6213(QalImpf) that which is lawfulH4941 and right,H6666 he shall saveH2421 his soulH5315 alive.H2421(PielImpf) [28] Because he considereth,H7200(QalImpf) and turneth awayH7725(QalImpf) from all his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committed,H6213(QalPerf) he shall surelyH2421(QalInf) live,H2421(QalImpf) he shall not die.H4191(QalImpf) [29] Yet saithH559(QalPerf) the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equal.H8505(NiphImpf) O houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 are not my waysH1870 equal?H8505(NiphImpf) are not your waysH1870 unequal?H8505(NiphImpf) [30] Therefore I will judgeH8199(QalImpf) you, O houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 every oneH376 according to his ways,H1870 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God.H3069 Repent,H7725(QalImpv) and turnH7725(HiphImpv) [yourselves] from all your transgressions;H6588 so iniquityH5771 shall not be your ruin.H4383 [31] Cast awayH7993(HiphImpv) from you all your transgressions,H6588 whereby ye have transgressed;H6586(QalPerf) and makeH6213(QalImpv) you a newH2319 heartH3820 and a newH2319 spirit:H7307 for why will ye die,H4191(QalImpf) O houseH1004 of Israel?H3478 [32] For I have no pleasureH2654(QalImpf) in the deathH4194 of him that dieth,H4191(QalPtc) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God:H3069 wherefore turnH7725(HiphImpv) [yourselves], and liveH2421(QalImpv) ye.
