Ezekiel Chapter 18
18:1 | The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, |
18:2 | What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of ![]() |
18:3 | [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in ![]() |
18:4 | Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. |
18:5 | But if a man be just, and ![]() |
18:6 | [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the ![]() ![]() |
18:7 | And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his ![]() ![]() |
18:8 | He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, |
18:9 | Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. |
18:10 | If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things], |
18:11 | And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour' wife, |
18:12 | Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, |
18:13 | Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. |
18:14 | Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his father' sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, |
18:15 | [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the ![]() ![]() |
18:16 | Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his ![]() ![]() |
18:17 | [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that] hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. |
18:18 | [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. |
18:19 | Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and] hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. |
18:20 | The soul that sinneth, it 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 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. |
18:21 | But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and ![]() |
18:22 | All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. |
18:23 | Have I any ![]() |
18:24 | But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. |
18:25 | Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O ![]() ![]() |
18:26 | When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. |
18:27 | Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall ![]() |
18:28 | Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. |
18:29 | Yet saith the ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
18:30 | Therefore I will judge you, O ![]() ![]() |
18:31 | Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new ![]() ![]() ![]() |
18:32 | For I have no ![]() ![]() |
