| [1]Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[1]Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
| [2]SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696[H8761] to the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and sayH559[H8804] unto them, When I bringH935[H8686] the swordH2719 upon a landH776, if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 takeH3947[H8804] aH259 manH376 of their coastsH7097, and setH5414[H8804] him for their watchmanH6822:[H8802] |
[2]Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their borders, and set him for their watchman: |
| [3]If when he seethH7200[H8804] the swordH2719 comeH935[H8802] upon the landH776, he blowH8628[H8804] the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094[H8689] the peopleH5971; |
[3]If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he shall blow the trumpet, and warn the people; |
| [4]Then whosoeverH8085[H8802] hearethH8085[H8804] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094[H8737]; if the swordH2719 comeH935[H8799], and take him awayH3947[H8799], his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218. |
[4]Then whoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword shall come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. |
| [5]He heardH8085[H8804] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094[H8737]; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094[H8737] shall deliverH4422[H8765] his soulH5315. |
[5]He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. |
| [6]But if the watchmanH6822[H8802] seeH7200[H8799] the swordH2719 comeH935[H8802], and blowH8628[H8804] not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094[H8737]; if the swordH2719 comeH935[H8799], and takeH3947[H8799] any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947[H8738] in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875[H8799] at the watchman'sH6822[H8802] handH3027. |
[6]But if the watchman shall see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword shall come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. |
| [7]So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414[H8804] thee a watchmanH6822[H8802] unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085[H8804] the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from meH8689. |
[7]So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. |
| [8]When I sayH559[H8800] unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191[H8799]; if thou dost not speakH1696[H8765] to warnH2094[H8687] the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191[H8799] in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245[H8762] at thine handH3027. |
[8]When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. |
| [9]Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094[H8689] the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725[H8800] from it; if he do not turnH7725[H8804] from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191[H8799] in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337[H8689] thy soulH5315. |
[9]Nevertheless, if thou shalt warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he shall not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. |
| [10]Therefore, O thou sonH1121 of manH120, speakH559[H8798] unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Thus ye speakH559[H8804], sayingH559[H8800], If our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 be upon us, and we pine awayH4743[H8737] in them, how should we then liveH2421?[H8799] |
[10]Therefore, O thou son of man, speak to the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? |
| [11]SayH559[H8798] unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654[H8799] in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725[H8800] from his wayH1870 and liveH2421[H8804]: turnH7725[H8798] ye, turnH7725[H8798] ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191[H8799], O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? |
[11]Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked should turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
| [12]Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559[H8798] unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337[H8686] him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588: as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fallH3782[H8735] thereby in the dayH3117 that he turnethH7725[H8800] from his wickednessH7562; neither shall the righteousH6662 be ableH3201[H8799] to liveH2421[H8800] for his righteousness in the dayH3117 that he sinnethH2398.[H8800] |
[12]Therefore, thou son of man, say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. |
| [13]When I shall sayH559[H8800] to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH2421[H8800] liveH2421[H8799]; if he trustH982[H8804] to his own righteousnessH6666, and commitH6213[H8804] iniquityH5766, all his righteousnessesH6666 shall not be rememberedH2142[H8735]; but for his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213[H8804], he shall dieH4191 for itH8799. |
[13]When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he shall trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. |
| [14]Again, when I sayH559[H8800] unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191[H8799]; if he turnH7725[H8804] from his sinH2403, and doH6213[H8804] that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; |
[14]Again, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he shall turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; |
| [15]If the wickedH7563 restoreH7725[H8686] the pledgeH2258, give againH7999[H8762] that he had robbedH1500, walkH1980[H8804] in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, without committingH6213[H8800] iniquityH5766; he shall surelyH2421[H8800] liveH2421[H8799], he shall not dieH4191.[H8799] |
[15]If the wicked shall restore the pledge, give again that which he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. |
| [16]None of his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH2398[H8804] shall be mentionedH2142[H8735] unto him: he hath doneH6213[H8804] that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; he shall surelyH2421[H8800] liveH2421.[H8799] |
[16]None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned to him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. |
| [17]Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559[H8804], The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505[H8735]: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equalH8505.[H8735] |
[17]Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. |
| [18]When the righteousH6662 turnethH7725[H8800] from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213[H8804] iniquityH5766, he shall even dieH4191 therebyH8804. |
[18]When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, for that he shall even die. |
| [19]But if the wickedH7563 turnH7725[H8800] from his wickednessH7564, and doH6213[H8804] that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall liveH2421 therebyH8799. |
[19]But if the wicked shall turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, for that he shall live. |
| [20]Yet ye sayH559[H8804], The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505[H8735]. O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, I will judgeH8199[H8799] you every oneH376 after his waysH1870. |
[20]Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. |
| [21]And it came to pass in the twelfthH8147[H6240] yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the tenthH6224 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, that one that had escapedH6412 out of JerusalemH3389 cameH935[H8804] unto me, sayingH559[H8800], The cityH5892 is smittenH5221.[H8717] |
[21]And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten. |
| [22]Now the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me in the eveningH6153, aforeH6440 he that was escapedH6412 cameH935[H8800]; and had openedH6605[H8799] my mouthH6310, until he cameH935[H8800] to me in the morningH1242; and my mouthH6310 was openedH6605[H8735], and I was no more dumbH481.[H8738] |
[22]Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. |
| [23]Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[23]Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
| [24]SonH1121 of manH120, they that inhabitH3427[H8802] those wastesH2723 of the landH127 of IsraelH3478 speakH559[H8802], sayingH559[H8800], AbrahamH85 was oneH259, and he inheritedH3423[H8799] the landH776: but we are manyH7227; the landH776 is givenH5414[H8738] us for inheritanceH4181. |
[24]Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given to us for inheritance. |
| [25]Wherefore sayH559[H8798] unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; Ye eatH398[H8799] with the bloodH1818, and lift upH5375[H8799] your eyesH5869 toward your idolsH1544, and shedH8210[H8799] bloodH1818: and shall ye possessH3423[H8799] the landH776? |
[25]Wherefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes towards your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? |
| [26]Ye standH5975[H8804] upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213[H8804] abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930[H8765] every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423[H8799] the landH776? |
[26]Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and shall ye possess the land? |
| [27]SayH559[H8799] thou thus unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely they that are in the wastesH2723 shall fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719, and him that is in the openH6440 fieldH7704 will I giveH5414[H8804] to the beastsH2416 to be devouredH398[H8800], and they that be in the fortsH4679 and in the cavesH4631 shall dieH4191[H8799] of the pestilenceH1698. |
[27]Say thou thus to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the forts and in the caves shall die by the pestilence. |
| [28]For I will layH5414[H8804] the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673[H8738]; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074[H8804], that none shall pass throughH5674.[H8802] |
[28]For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. |
| [29]Then shall they knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068, when I have laidH5414[H8800] the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077 because of all their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.[H8804] |
[29]Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed. |
| [30]Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 still are talkingH1696[H8737] againstH681 thee by the wallsH7023 and in the doorsH6607 of the housesH1004, and speakH1696[H8765] oneH2297 to anotherH259, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, sayingH559[H8800], ComeH935[H8798], I pray you, and hearH8085[H8798] what is the wordH1697 that cometh forthH3318[H8802] from the LORDH3068. |
[30]Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. |
| [31]And they comeH935[H8799] unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427[H8799] beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085[H8804] thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213[H8799] them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213[H8802] much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980[H8802] afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. |
[31]And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. |
| [32]And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895[H8688] on an instrumentH5059[H8763]: for they hearH8085[H8804] thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them notH8802. |
[32]And lo, thou art to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do not perform them. |
| [33]And when this cometh to passH935[H8800], (lo, it will comeH935[H8802],) then shall they knowH3045[H8804] that a prophetH5030 hath been among themH8432. |
[33]And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. |
