1
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to me, saying,
2
"What
do you mean by using
this
proverb
concerning
the land
of Israel,
saying,
'
The fathers
eat
the sour grapes,
But the children's
teeth
are set on edge '?
3
"As I live,"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"you are surely
not going to use
this
proverb
in Israel
anymore.
4
"Behold,
all
souls
are Mine; the soul
of the father
as well as the soul
of the son
is Mine. The soul
who sins
will die.
5
"But if
a man
is righteous
and practices
justice
and righteousness,
6
and does not eat
at the mountain
shrines or lift
up his eyes
to the idols
of the house
of Israel,
or defile
his neighbor's
wife
or approach
a woman
during her menstrual period--
7
if a man
does not oppress
anyone, but restores
to the debtor
his pledge,
does not commit
robbery,
but gives
his bread
to the hungry
and covers
the naked
with clothing,
8
if he does not lend
money on interest
or take
increase,
if he keeps
his hand
from iniquity
and executes
true
justice
between
man
and
man
,
9
if he walks
in My statutes
and My ordinances
so as to deal
faithfully--
he is righteous
and will surely
live,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.
10
"Then he may have
a violent
son
who sheds
blood
and who does
any
of these things
to a brother
11
(though he himself
did not do
any
of these things),
that is, he even
eats
at the mountain
shrines, and defiles
his neighbor's
wife,
12
oppresses
the poor
and needy,
commits
robbery,
does not restore
a pledge,
but lifts
up his eyes
to the idols
and
commits
abomination,
13
he lends
money on interest
and takes
increase;
will he live? He will not live!
He has committed
all
these
abominations,
he will surely
be put to death;
his blood
will be on his own head.
14
"Now behold,
he has
a son
who has observed
all
his father's
sins
which
he committed,
and observing
does not do
likewise.
15
"He does not eat
at the mountain
shrines or lift
up his eyes
to the idols
of the house
of Israel,
or defile
his neighbor's
wife,
16
or oppress
anyone,
or retain
a pledge,
or commit
robbery,
but he gives
his bread
to the hungry
and covers
the naked
with clothing,
17
he keeps
his hand
from the poor,
does not take
interest
or increase,
but executes
My ordinances,
and walks
in My statutes;
he will not die
for his father's
iniquity,
he will surely
live.
18
"As for his father,
because
he practiced
extortion,
robbed
his brother
and did
what
was not good
among
his people,
behold,
he will die
for his iniquity.
19
"Yet you say,
'
Why
should the son
not bear
the punishment
for the father's
iniquity?'
When the son
has practiced
justice
and righteousness
and has observed
all
My statutes
and done
them, he sh
all
surely
live.
20
"The person
who sins
will die.
The son
will not
bear
the punishment
for the father's
iniquity,
nor
will the father
bear
the punishment
for the son's
iniquity;
the righteousness
of the righteous
will be upon himself, and the wickedness
of the wicked
will be upon himself.
21
"But if
the wicked man
turns
from
all
his sins
which
he has committed
and observes
all
My statutes
and practices
justice
and righteousness,
he sh
all
surely
live;
he sh
all
not die.
22
"All
his transgressions
which
he has committed
will not be remembered
against him; because of his righteousness
which
he has practiced,
he will live.
23
"Do I have
any pleasure
in the death
of the wicked,"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"rather than
that he should turn
from his ways
and live?
24
"But when a righteous man
turns away
from his righteousness,
commits
iniquity
and does
according to all
the abominations
that a wicked man
does,
will he live?
All
his righteous deeds
which
he has done
will not be remembered
for his treachery
which
he has committed
and his sin
which
he has committed
;
for them he will die.
25
"Yet you say,
'
The way
of the Lord
is not right.'
Hear
now,
O house
of Israel!
Is My way
not right?
Is it not your ways
that are
not right?
26
"When a righteous man
turns away
from his righteousness,
commits
iniquity
and dies
because
of it, for his
iniquity
which
he has committed
he will die.
27
"Again, when a wicked man
turns away
from his wickedness
which
he has committed
and practices
justice
and righteousness,
he will save
his life.
28
"Because he considered
and turned away
from all
his transgressions
which
he had committed,
he shall surely
live;
he shall not die.
29
"But the house
of Israel
says,
'The way
of the Lord
is not right.'
Are My ways
not right,
O house
of Israel
?
Is it not your ways
that are not right?
30
"Therefore
I will judge
you, O house
of Israel,
each
according to his conduct,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.
"Repent
and turn away
from all
your transgressions,
so that iniquity
may not become
a stumbling block
to you.
31
"Cast away
from you all
your transgressions
which
you have committed
and make
yourselves a new
heart
and a new
spirit!
For why
will you die,
O house
of Israel?
32
"For I have
no
pleasure
in the death
of anyone who dies,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.
"Therefore, repent
and live."
