Ezekiel 33:10-20

« Ezek 32Ezek 33Ezek 34 »

10 “Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus you have spoken, saying, “Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we are ^arotting away in them; ^bhow then can we live?”’ 11 Say to them, ‘^aAs I live!’ declares Lord Yahweh, ‘I take ^bno pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked ^cturn from his way and live. ^dTurn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’ 12 Now as for you, son of man, say to the sons of your people, ‘The ^arighteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will ^bnot stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live ¹by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’ 13 When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he ^adoes iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has done he will die. 14 But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and he ^aturns from his sin and does ^bjustice and righteousness, 15 if a wicked man restores a pledge, ^apays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the ^bstatutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 ^aNone of his sins that he has done will be remembered against him. He has done justice and righteousness; he shall surely live.
17 “Yet the sons of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right,’ when it is their own way that is not right. 18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and ^adoes iniquity, then he shall die in ¹it. 19 But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does justice and righteousness, he will live by them. 20 Yet you say, ‘^aThe way of the Lord is not right.’ O house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to his ways.”
