When I say [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]; and thou givest him not warning [02094], nor speakest [01696] to warn [02094] the wicked [07563] from his wicked [07563] way [01870], to save his life [02421]; the same wicked [07563] man shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027].
Nevertheless if thou warn [02094] the righteous [06662] man, that the righteous [06662] sin [02398] not, and he doth not sin [02398], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], because he is warned [02094]; also thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315].
And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] God [03069]; Woe [01945] to the women that sew [08609] pillows [03704] to all armholes [03027] [0679], and make [06213] kerchiefs [04555] upon the head [07218] of every stature [06967] to hunt [06679] souls [05315]! Will ye hunt [06679] the souls [05315] of my people [05971], and will ye save [02421] the souls [05315] alive [02421] that come unto you?armholes: or, elbows
And will ye pollute [02490] me among my people [05971] for handfuls [08168] of barley [08184] and for pieces [06595] of bread [03899], to slay [04191] the souls [05315] that should not die [04191], and to save [02421] the souls [05315] alive [02421] that should not live [02421], by your lying [03576] to my people [05971] that hear [08085] your lies [03577]?
Because with lies [08267] ye have made the heart [03820] of the righteous [06662] sad [03512], whom I have not made sad [03510]; and strengthened [02388] the hands [03027] of the wicked [07451], that he should not return [07725] from his wicked [07563] way [01870], by promising him life [02421]:by…: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him
And when I passed [05674] by thee, and saw [07200] thee polluted [0947] in thine own blood [01818], I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421]; yea, I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421].polluted: or, trodden under foot
Hath walked [01980] in my statutes [02708], and hath kept [08104] my judgments [04941], to deal [06213] truly [0571]; he is just [06662], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] God [03069].
Hath given forth [05414] upon usury [05392], and hath taken [03947] increase [08636]: shall he then live [02425]? he shall not live [02421]: he hath done [06213] all these abominations [08441]; he shall surely [04191] die [04191]; his blood [01818] shall be upon him.blood: Heb. bloods
That hath taken off [07725] his hand [03027] from the poor [06041], that hath not received [03947] usury [05392] nor increase [08636], hath executed [06213] my judgments [04941], hath walked [01980] in my statutes [02708]; he shall not die [04191] for the iniquity [05771] of his father [01], he shall surely [02421] live [02421].
Yet say [0559] ye, Why? doth not the son [01121] bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the father [01]? When the son [01121] hath done [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], and hath kept [08104] all my statutes [02708], and hath done [06213] them, he shall surely [02421] live [02421].
But if the wicked [07563] will turn [07725] from all his sins [02403] that he hath committed [06213], and keep [08104] all my statutes [02708], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191].
All his transgressions [06588] that he hath committed [06213], they shall not be mentioned [02142] unto him: in his righteousness [06666] that he hath done [06213] he shall live [02421].
Have I any pleasure [02654] at all [02654] that the wicked [07563] should die [04194]? saith [05002] the Lord [0136] God [03069]: and not that he should return [07725] from his ways [01870], and live [02421]?
Again, when the wicked [07563] man turneth away [07725] from his wickedness [07564] that he hath committed [06213], and doeth [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall save [02421] his soul [05315] alive [02421].
Because he considereth [07200], and turneth away [07725] from all his transgressions [06588] that he hath committed [06213], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191].
For I have no pleasure [02654] in the death [04194] of him that dieth [04191], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] God [03069]: wherefore turn [07725] yourselves, and live [02421] ye.yourselves: or, others
Wherefore I gave [05414] them also statutes [02706] that were not good [02896], and judgments [04941] whereby they should not live [02421];
Therefore, O thou son [01121] of man [0120], speak [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Thus ye speak [0559], saying [0559], If our transgressions [06588] and our sins [02403] be upon us, and we pine away [04743] in them, how should we then live [02421]?
Say [0559] unto them, As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] God [03069], I have no pleasure [02654] in the death [04194] of the wicked [07563]; but that the wicked [07563] turn [07725] from his way [01870] and live [02421]: turn [07725] ye, turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870]; for why will ye die [04191], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]?
Therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the children [01121] of thy people [05971], The righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] shall not deliver [05337] him in the day [03117] of his transgression [06588]: as for the wickedness [07564] of the wicked [07563], he shall not fall [03782] thereby in the day [03117] that he turneth [07725] from his wickedness [07562]; neither shall the righteous [06662] be able [03201] to live [02421] for his righteousness in the day [03117] that he sinneth [02398].
When I shall say [0559] to the righteous [06662], that he shall surely [02421] live [02421]; if he trust [0982] to his own righteousness [06666], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], all his righteousnesses [06666] shall not be remembered [02142]; but for his iniquity [05766] that he hath committed [06213], he shall die [04191] for it.
If the wicked [07563] restore [07725] the pledge [02258], give again [07999] that he had robbed [01500], walk [01980] in the statutes [02708] of life [02416], without committing [06213] iniquity [05766]; he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191].
None of his sins [02403] that he hath committed [02398] shall be mentioned [02142] unto him: he hath done [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666]; he shall surely [02421] live [02421].
But if the wicked [07563] turn [07725] from his wickedness [07564], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall live [02421] thereby.
And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], can these bones [06106] live [02421]? And I answered [0559], O Lord [0136] God [03069], thou knowest [03045].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] God [03069] unto these bones [06106]; Behold, I will cause breath [07307] to enter [0935] into you, and ye shall live [02421]:
And I will lay [05414] sinews [01517] upon you, and will bring up [05927] flesh [01320] upon you, and cover [07159] you with skin [05785], and put [05414] breath [07307] in you, and ye shall live [02421]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [03068].
Then said [0559] he unto me, Prophesy [05012] unto the wind [07307], prophesy [05012], son [01121] of man [0120], and say [0559] to the wind [07307], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] God [03069]; Come [0935] from the four [0702] winds [07307], O breath [07307], and breathe [05301] upon these slain [02026], that they may live [02421].wind: or, breath
So I prophesied [05012] as he commanded [06680] me, and the breath [07307] came [0935] into them, and they lived [02421], and stood up [05975] upon their feet [07272], an exceeding [03966] [03966] great [01419] army [02428].
And shall put [05414] my spirit [07307] in you, and ye shall live [02421], and I shall place [03240] you in your own land [0127]: then shall ye know [03045] that I the Lord [03068] have spoken [01696] it, and performed [06213] it, saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].rivers: Heb. two rivers
