Ezekiel 18:1-26

18:1

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

18:2

What mean ye, that ye use
<04911> (8802)

this proverb
<04912>

concerning the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The fathers
<01>

have eaten
<0398> (8799)

sour grapes
<01155>_,

and the children's
<01121>

teeth
<08127>

are set on edge
<06949> (8799)_?

18:3

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use
<04911> (8800)

this proverb
<04912>

in Israel
<03478>_.

18:4

Behold, all souls
<05315>

are mine; as the soul
<05315>

of the father
<01>_,

so also the soul
<05315>

of the son
<01121>

is mine: the soul
<05315>

that sinneth
<02398> (8802)_,

it shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

18:5

But if a man
<0376>

be just
<06662>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_,

{that...: Heb. judgment and justice}

18:6

[And] hath not eaten
<0398> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

neither hath lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his eyes
<05869>

to the idols
<01544>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

neither hath defiled
<02930> (8765)

his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_,

neither hath come near
<07126> (8799)

to a menstruous
<05079>

woman
<0802>_,

18:7

And hath not oppressed
<03238> (8686)

any
<0376>_,

[but] hath restored
<07725> (8686)

to the debtor
<02326>

his pledge
<02258>_,

hath spoiled
<01497> (8799)

none by violence
<01500>_,

hath given
<05414> (8799)

his bread
<03899>

to the hungry
<07457>_,

and hath covered
<03680> (8762)

the naked
<05903>

with a garment
<0899>_;

18:8

He [that] hath not given forth
<05414> (8799)

upon usury
<05392>_,

neither hath taken
<03947> (8799)

any increase
<08636>_,

[that] hath withdrawn
<07725> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

from iniquity
<05766>_,

hath executed
<06213> (8799)

true
<0571>

judgment
<04941>

between man
<0376>

and man
<0376>_,

18:9

Hath walked
<01980> (8762)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and hath kept
<08104> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

to deal
<06213> (8800)

truly
<0571>_;

he [is] just
<06662>_,

he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

18:10

If he beget
<03205> (8689)

a son
<01121>

[that is] a robber
<06530>_,

a shedder
<08210> (8802)

of blood
<01818>_,

and [that] doeth
<06213> (8804)

the like
<0251>

to [any] one
<0259>

of these [things], {robber: or, breaker up of an house} {that doeth...: or, that doeth to his brother besides any of these}

18:11

And that doeth
<06213> (8804)

not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten
<0398> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

and defiled
<02930> (8765)

his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_,

18:12

Hath oppressed
<03238> (8689)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_,

hath spoiled
<01497> (8804)

by violence
<01500>_,

hath not restored
<07725> (8686)

the pledge
<02258>_,

and hath lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his eyes
<05869>

to the idols
<01544>_,

hath committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_,

18:13

Hath given forth
<05414> (8804)

upon usury
<05392>_,

and hath taken
<03947> (8804)

increase
<08636>_:

shall he then live
<02425> (8804)_?

he shall not live
<02421> (8799)_:

he hath done
<06213> (8804)

all these abominations
<08441>_;

he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8714)_;

his blood
<01818>

shall be upon him. {blood: Heb. bloods}

18:14

Now, lo, [if] he beget
<03205> (8689)

a son
<01121>_,

that seeth
<07200> (8799)

all his father's
<01>

sins
<02403>

which he hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

and considereth
<07200> (8799)_,

and doeth
<06213> (8799)

not such like
<02004>_,

18:15

[That] hath not eaten
<0398> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

neither hath lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his eyes
<05869>

to the idols
<01544>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

hath not defiled
<02930> (8765)

his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_,

18:16

Neither hath oppressed
<03238> (8689)

any
<0376>_,

hath not withholden
<02254> (8804)

the pledge
<02258>_,

neither hath spoiled
<01497> (8804)

by violence
<01500>_,

[but] hath given
<05414> (8804)

his bread
<03899>

to the hungry
<07457>_,

and hath covered
<03680> (8765)

the naked
<05903>

with a garment
<0899>_,

{hath not...: Heb. hath not pledged the pledge, or, taken to pledge}

18:17

[That] hath taken off
<07725> (8689)

his hand
<03027>

from the poor
<06041>_,

[that] hath not received
<03947> (8804)

usury
<05392>

nor increase
<08636>_,

hath executed
<06213> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

hath walked
<01980> (8804)

in my statutes
<02708>_;

he shall not die
<04191> (8799)

for the iniquity
<05771>

of his father
<01>_,

he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_.

18:18

[As for] his father
<01>_,

because he cruelly
<06233>

oppressed
<06231> (8804)_,

spoiled
<01497> (8804)

his brother
<0251>

by violence
<01499>_,

and did
<06213> (8804)

[that] which [is] not good
<02896>

among
<08432>

his people
<05971>_,

lo, even he shall die
<04191> (8801)

in his iniquity
<05771>_.

18:19

Yet say
<0559> (8804)

ye, Why? doth not the son
<01121>

bear
<05375> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the father
<01>_?

When the son
<01121>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_,

[and] hath kept
<08104> (8804)

all my statutes
<02708>_,

and hath done
<06213> (8799)

them, he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_.

18:20

The soul
<05315>

that sinneth
<02398> (8802)_,

it shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

The son
<01121>

shall not bear
<05375> (8799)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the father
<01>_,

neither shall the father
<01>

bear
<05375> (8799)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the son
<01121>_:

the righteousness
<06666>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be upon him, and the wickedness
<07564>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be upon him.

18:21

But if the wicked
<07563>

will turn
<07725> (8799)

from all his sins
<02403>

that he hath committed
<06213> (8804)_,

and keep
<08104> (8804)

all my statutes
<02708>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_,

he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_,

he shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

18:22

All his transgressions
<06588>

that he hath committed
<06213> (8804)_,

they shall not be mentioned
<02142> (8735)

unto him: in his righteousness
<06666>

that he hath done
<06213> (8804)

he shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

18:23

Have I any pleasure
<02654> (8799)

at all
<02654> (8800)

that the wicked
<07563>

should die
<04194>_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_:

[and] not that he should return
<07725> (8800)

from his ways
<01870>_,

and live
<02421> (8804)_?

18:24

But when the righteous
<06662>

turneth away
<07725> (8800)

from his righteousness
<06666>_,

and committeth
<06213> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

[and] doeth
<06213> (8799)

according to all the abominations
<08441>

that the wicked
<07563>

[man] doeth
<06213> (8804)_,

shall he live
<02425> (8804)_?

All his righteousness
<06666>

that he hath done
<06213> (8804)

shall not be mentioned
<02142> (8735)_:

in his trespass
<04603> (8804)

that he hath trespassed
<04604>_,

and in his sin
<02403>

that he hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

in them shall he die
<04191> (8799)_.

18:25

Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,

The way
<01870>

of the Lord
<0136>

is not equal
<08505> (8735)_.

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Is not my way
<01870>

equal
<08505> (8735)_?

are not your ways
<01870>

unequal
<08505> (8735)_?

18:26

When a righteous
<06662>

[man] turneth away
<07725> (8800)

from his righteousness
<06666>_,

and committeth
<06213> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

and dieth
<04191> (8804)

in them; for his iniquity
<05766>

that he hath done
<06213> (8804)

shall he die
<04191> (8799)_.
