He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself.<n id="1" /> If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.

But if you warn the wicked man to change his behavior,<n id="1" /> and he refuses to change,<n id="2" /> he will die for his iniquity, but you have saved your own life.p>

<p class="bodytext">And I said, &#8220;Ah, sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, I have never been ceremonially defiled before. I have never eaten a carcass or an animal torn by wild beasts; from my youth up, unclean meat<n id="1" /> has never entered my mouth.&#8221;p>

They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth.<n id="1" /> Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s fury.<n id="2" /> They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth<n id="3" /> was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.<n id="4" />

Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, they could not save their own son or daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.p>

No eye took pity on you to do even one of these things for you to spare you;<n id="1" /> you were thrown out into the open field<n id="2" /> because you were detested on the day you were born.p>

The person who sins is the one who will die. A son will not suffer<n id="1" /> for his father&#8217;s iniquity, and a father will not suffer<n id="2" /> for his son&#8217;s iniquity; the righteous person will be judged according to his righteousness, and the wicked person according to his wickedness.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look here,<n id="1" /> I am about to stir up against you the lovers with whom you were disgusted; I will bring them against you from every side:

Say to the house of Israel, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Realize I am about to desecrate my sanctuary &#8211; the source of your confident pride,<n id="1" /> the object in which your eyes delight,<n id="2" /> and your life&#8217;s passion.<n id="3" /> Your very own sons and daughters whom you have left behind will die<n id="4" /> by the sword.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;And you, son of man, this is what will happen on the day I take<n id="1" /> from them their stronghold &#8211; their beautiful source of joy, the object in which their eyes delight, and the main concern of their lives,<n id="2" /> as well as their sons and daughters:<n id="3" />

But suppose the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. Then the sword comes and takes one of their lives. He is swept away for his iniquity,<n id="1" /> but I will hold the watchman accountable for that person&#8217;s death.&#8217;<n id="2" />p>

therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Surely I have spoken in the fire of my zeal against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who with great joy and utter contempt have made my land their property and prey, because of its pasture.&#8217;p>

Every living creature which swarms where the river<n id="1" /> flows will live; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will become fresh<n id="2" /> and everything will live where the river flows.
