Ezekiel 33:1-33

33:1

Again the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

33:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<01696> (8761)

to the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, When I bring
<0935> (8686)

the sword
<02719>

upon a land
<0776>_,

if the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

take
<03947> (8804)

a
<0259>

man
<0376>

of their coasts
<07097>_,

and set
<05414> (8804)

him for their watchman
<06822> (8802)_:

{When...: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her}

33:3

If when he seeth
<07200> (8804)

the sword
<02719>

come
<0935> (8802)

upon the land
<0776>_,

he blow
<08628> (8804)

the trumpet
<07782>_,

and warn
<02094> (8689)

the people
<05971>_;

33:4

Then whosoever
<08085> (8802)

heareth
<08085> (8804)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

and taketh not warning
<02094> (8737)_;

if the sword
<02719>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and take him away
<03947> (8799)_,

his blood
<01818>

shall be upon his own head
<07218>_.

{whosoever...: Heb. he that hearing heareth}

33:5

He heard
<08085> (8804)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

and took not warning
<02094> (8737)_;

his blood
<01818>

shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning
<02094> (8737)

shall deliver
<04422> (8765)

his soul
<05315>_.

33:6

But if the watchman
<06822> (8802)

see
<07200> (8799)

the sword
<02719>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

and blow
<08628> (8804)

not the trumpet
<07782>_,

and the people
<05971>

be not warned
<02094> (8737)_;

if the sword
<02719>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and take
<03947> (8799)

[any] person
<05315>

from among them, he is taken away
<03947> (8738)

in his iniquity
<05771>_;

but his blood
<01818>

will I require
<01875> (8799)

at the watchman's
<06822> (8802)

hand
<03027>_.

33:7

So thou, O son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

I have set
<05414> (8804)

thee a watchman
<06822> (8802)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

therefore thou shalt hear
<08085> (8804)

the word
<01697>

at my mouth
<06310>_,

and warn
<02094> (8689)

them from me.

33:8

When I say
<0559> (8800)

unto the wicked
<07563>_,

O wicked
<07563>

[man], thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_;

if thou dost not speak
<01696> (8765)

to warn
<02094> (8687)

the wicked
<07563>

from his way
<01870>_,

that wicked
<07563>

[man] shall die
<04191> (8799)

in his iniquity
<05771>_;

but his blood
<01818>

will I require
<01245> (8762)

at thine hand
<03027>_.

33:9

Nevertheless, if thou warn
<02094> (8689)

the wicked
<07563>

of his way
<01870>

to turn
<07725> (8800)

from it; if he do not turn
<07725> (8804)

from his way
<01870>_,

he shall die
<04191> (8799)

in his iniquity
<05771>_;

but thou hast delivered
<05337> (8689)

thy soul
<05315>_.

33:10

Therefore, O thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<0559> (8798)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Thus ye speak
<0559> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If our transgressions
<06588>

and our sins
<02403>

[be] upon us, and we pine away
<04743> (8737)

in them, how should we then live
<02421> (8799)_?

33:11

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto them, [As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

I have no pleasure
<02654> (8799)

in the death
<04194>

of the wicked
<07563>_;

but that the wicked
<07563>

turn
<07725> (8800)

from his way
<01870>

and live
<02421> (8804)_:

turn
<07725> (8798)

ye, turn
<07725> (8798)

ye from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_;

for why will ye die
<04191> (8799)_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_?

33:12

Therefore, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>_,

The righteousness
<06666>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall not deliver
<05337> (8686)

him in the day
<03117>

of his transgression
<06588>_:

as for the wickedness
<07564>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

he shall not fall
<03782> (8735)

thereby in the day
<03117>

that he turneth
<07725> (8800)

from his wickedness
<07562>_;

neither shall the righteous
<06662>

be able
<03201> (8799)

to live
<02421> (8800)

for his [righteousness] in the day
<03117>

that he sinneth
<02398> (8800)_.

33:13

When I shall say
<0559> (8800)

to the righteous
<06662>_,

[that] he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_;

if he trust
<0982> (8804)

to his own righteousness
<06666>_,

and commit
<06213> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

all his righteousnesses
<06666>

shall not be remembered
<02142> (8735)_;

but for his iniquity
<05766>

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

he shall die
<04191> (8799)

for it.

33:14

Again, when I say
<0559> (8800)

unto the wicked
<07563>_,

Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_;

if he turn
<07725> (8804)

from his sin
<02403>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_;

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

33:15

[If] the wicked
<07563>

restore
<07725> (8686)

the pledge
<02258>_,

give again
<07999> (8762)

that he had robbed
<01500>_,

walk
<01980> (8804)

in the statutes
<02708>

of life
<02416>_,

without committing
<06213> (8800)

iniquity
<05766>_;

he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_,

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

33:16

None of his sins
<02403>

that he hath committed
<02398> (8804)

shall be mentioned
<02142> (8735)

unto him: he hath done
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_;

he shall surely
<02421> (8800)

live
<02421> (8799)_.

33:17

Yet the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>

say
<0559> (8804)_,

The way
<01870>

of the Lord
<0136>

is not equal
<08505> (8735)_:

but as for them, their way
<01870>

is not equal
<08505> (8735)_.

33:18

When the righteous
<06662>

turneth
<07725> (8800)

from his righteousness
<06666>_,

and committeth
<06213> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

he shall even die
<04191> (8804)

thereby.

33:19

But if the wicked
<07563>

turn
<07725> (8800)

from his wickedness
<07564>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

that which is lawful
<04941>

and right
<06666>_,

he shall live
<02421> (8799)

thereby.

33:20

Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,

The way
<01870>

of the Lord
<0136>

is not equal
<08505> (8735)_.

O ye house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I will judge
<08199> (8799)

you every one
<0376>

after his ways
<01870>_.

33:21

And it came to pass in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of our captivity
<01546>_,

in the tenth
<06224>

[month], in the fifth
<02568>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] one that had escaped
<06412>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>

came
<0935> (8804)

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

The city
<05892>

is smitten
<05221> (8717)_.

33:22

Now the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was upon me in the evening
<06153>_,

afore
<06440>

he that was escaped
<06412>

came
<0935> (8800)_;

and had opened
<06605> (8799)

my mouth
<06310>_,

until he came
<0935> (8800)

to me in the morning
<01242>_;

and my mouth
<06310>

was opened
<06605> (8735)_,

and I was no more dumb
<0481> (8738)_.

33:23

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

33:24

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

they that inhabit
<03427> (8802)

those wastes
<02723>

of the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>

speak
<0559> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Abraham
<085>

was one
<0259>_,

and he inherited
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_:

but we [are] many
<07227>_;

the land
<0776>

is given
<05414> (8738)

us for inheritance
<04181>_.

33:25

Wherefore say
<0559> (8798)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Ye eat
<0398> (8799)

with the blood
<01818>_,

and lift up
<05375> (8799)

your eyes
<05869>

toward your idols
<01544>_,

and shed
<08210> (8799)

blood
<01818>_:

and shall ye possess
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_?

33:26

Ye stand
<05975> (8804)

upon your sword
<02719>_,

ye work
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_,

and ye defile
<02930> (8765)

every one
<0376>

his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_:

and shall ye possess
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_?

33:27

Say
<0559> (8799)

thou thus unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

[As] I live
<02416>_,

surely they that [are] in the wastes
<02723>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and him that [is] in the open
<06440>

field
<07704>

will I give
<05414> (8804)

to the beasts
<02416>

to be devoured
<0398> (8800)_,

and they that [be] in the forts
<04679>

and in the caves
<04631>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

of the pestilence
<01698>_.

{to be...: Heb. to devour him}

33:28

For I will lay
<05414> (8804)

the land
<0776>

most
<04923>

desolate
<08077>_,

and the pomp
<01347>

of her strength
<05797>

shall cease
<07673> (8738)_;

and the mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>

shall be desolate
<08074> (8804)_,

that none shall pass through
<05674> (8802)_.

{most...: Heb. desolation and desolation}

33:29

Then shall they know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

when I have laid
<05414> (8800)

the land
<0776>

most
<04923>

desolate
<08077>

because of all their abominations
<08441>

which they have committed
<06213> (8804)_.

33:30

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>

still are talking
<01696> (8737)

against
<0681>

thee by the walls
<07023>

and in the doors
<06607>

of the houses
<01004>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

one
<02297>

to another
<0259>_,

every one
<0376>

to his brother
<0251>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<0935> (8798)_,

I pray you, and hear
<08085> (8798)

what is the word
<01697>

that cometh forth
<03318> (8802)

from the LORD
<03068>_.

{against thee: of, of thee}

33:31

And they come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee as the people
<05971>

cometh
<03996>_,

and they sit
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee [as] my people
<05971>_,

and they hear
<08085> (8804)

thy words
<01697>_,

but they will not do
<06213> (8799)

them: for with their mouth
<06310>

they shew
<06213> (8802)

much love
<05690>_,

[but] their heart
<03820>

goeth
<01980> (8802)

after
<0310>

their covetousness
<01215>_.

{as the...: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit...: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew...: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}

33:32

And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely
<05690>

song
<07892>

of one that hath a pleasant
<03303>

voice
<06963>_,

and can play well
<02895> (8688)

on an instrument
<05059> (8763)_:

for they hear
<08085> (8804)

thy words
<01697>_,

but they do
<06213> (8802)

them not. {a very...: Heb. a song of loves}

33:33

And when this cometh to pass
<0935> (8800)_,

(lo, it will come
<0935> (8802),)

then shall they know
<03045> (8804)

that a prophet
<05030>

hath been among
<08432>

them.
