Ezekiel 18:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 THE WORD of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
3 As I live, says the Lord God, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sins, it shall die. Rom. 6:23.
5 But if a man is uncompromisingly righteous (upright and in right standing with God) and does what is lawful and right,
6 And has not eaten at the idol shrines upon the mountains nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife nor come near to a woman in her time of impurity,
7 And has not wronged anyone but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery but has given his bread to the hungry and has covered the naked with a garment,
8 Who does not charge interest or percentage of increase on what he lends in compassion, who withholds his hand from iniquity, who executes true justice between man and man,
9 Who has walked in My statutes and kept My ordinances, to deal justly; then he is truly righteous; he shall surely live, says the Lord God. Ezek. 20:11; Amos 5:4.
10 If he begets a son who is a robber or a shedder of blood, who does to a brother either of these sins of violence,
11 And leaves undone all of the duties of a righteous man, and has even eaten the food set before idols on the mountains and defiled his neighbor's wife,
12 Has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored to the debtor his pledge, has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination (things hateful and exceedingly vile in the eyes of God),
13 And has charged interest or percentage of increase on what he has loaned in supposed compassion; shall he then live? He shall not live! He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
14 But if this wicked man begets a son who sees all the sins which his father has committed, and considers and fears God and does not do like his father,
15 Who has not eaten food set before idols upon the mountains nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 Nor wronged anyone, nor has taken anything in pledge, nor has taken by robbery but has given his bread to the hungry and has covered the naked with a garment,
17 Who has withdrawn his hand from oppressing the poor, who has not received interest or increase from the needy but has executed My ordinances and has walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; he shall surely live.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die for his iniquity and guilt.
19 Yet do you say, Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right and has kept all My statutes and has done them, he shall surely live.
20 The soul that sins, it is the one that shall die. The son shall not bear and be punished for the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear and be punished for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him only, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon the wicked only.
21 But if the wicked man turns from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all My statutes and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
22 None of his transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness which he has executed for his moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation, he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return to his God and live?
24 But if the righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds which he has done shall be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not fair and just. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not My way fair and just? Are not your ways unfair and unjust?
26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and dies in his sins, for his iniquity that he has done he shall die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his life.
28 Because he considers and turns away from all his transgressions which he has committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
29 Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not fair and just! O house of Israel, are not My ways fair and just? Are not your ways unfair and unjust?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin and so shall they not be a stumbling block to you. Matt. 3:2; Rev. 2:5.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions by which you have transgressed against Me, and make you a new mind and heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, O house of Israel? Eph. 4:22, 23.
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord God. Therefore turn (be converted) and live!
1 The word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me again , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 What H4100 IPRO mean ye , that ye H859 PPRO-2MS use H4911 this H2088 D-PMS proverb H4912 concerning H5921 PREP the land H127 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , The fathers H1 have eaten H398 sour grapes H1155 , and the children H1121 \'s teeth H8127 W-CMD are set on edge H6949 ?
3 As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , ye shall not H518 PART have H1961 VQY3MS occasion any more H5750 ADV to use H4911 this H2088 D-PMS proverb H4912 in Israel H3478 .

8 He that hath not H3808 ADV given forth H5414 VHFA upon usury H5392 , neither H3808 NADV hath taken H3947 any increase H8636 , that hath withdrawn H7725 VHY3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS from iniquity H5766 , hath executed H6213 true H571 CFS judgment H4941 CMS between H996 PREP man H376 NMS and man H376 NMS ,
9 Hath walked H1980 in my statutes H2708 , and hath kept H8104 my judgments H4941 , to deal H6213 L-VQFC truly H571 CFS ; he H1931 PPRO-3MS is just H6662 AMS , he shall surely live H2421 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
10 If he beget H3205 a son H1121 NMS that is a robber H6530 , a shedder H8210 VQPMS of blood H1818 NMS , and that doeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS the like H251 NMS to any one H259 of these H428 things ,
11 And that H1931 W-PPRO-3MS doeth H6213 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV any H3605 NMS of those H428 PMP duties , but H3588 CONJ even H1571 CONJ hath eaten H398 VQQ3MS upon H413 PREP the mountains H2022 , and defiled H2930 his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS \'s wife H802 CFS ,

13 Hath given forth H5414 VQQ3MS upon usury H5392 , and hath taken H3947 VQQ3MS increase H8636 : shall he then live H2421 ? he shall not H3808 NADV live H2421 : he hath done H6213 VQQ3MS all H3605 NMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP abominations H8441 ; he shall surely die H4191 VQFA ; his blood H1818 shall be H1961 upon him .
14 Now , lo H2009 IJEC , if he beget H3205 VHQ3MS a son H1121 NMS , that seeth H7200 W-VIY3MS all H3605 NMS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s sins H2403 which H834 RPRO he hath done H6213 VQQ3MS , and considereth H7200 W-VIY3MS , and doeth H6213 VQY3MS not H3808 W-NPAR such like ,
15 That hath not H3808 NADV eaten H398 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 , neither H3808 NADV hath lifted up H5375 VQQ3MS his eyes H5869 W-CFD-3MS to H413 PREP the idols H1544 of the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , hath not H3808 NADV defiled H2930 his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS \'s wife H802 CFS ,

17 That hath taken off H7725 VHQ3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS from the poor H6041 , that hath not H3808 NADV received H3947 VQQ3MS usury H5392 nor increase H8636 , hath executed H6213 VQQ3MS my judgments H4941 , hath walked H1980 in my statutes H2708 ; he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 VQY3MS for the iniquity H5771 of his father H1 CMS-3MS , he shall surely live H2421 .
18 As for his father H1 CMS-3MS , because H3588 CONJ he cruelly oppressed H6231 , spoiled H1497 VQQ3MS his brother H251 NMS by violence H1499 , and did H6213 VQQ3MS that which H834 W-RPRO is not H3808 NADV good H2896 AMS among H8432 B-NMS his people H5971 , lo H2009 IJEC , even he shall die H4191 in his iniquity H5771 .
19 Yet say H559 ye , Why H4069 ? doth not H3808 NADV the son H1121 bear H5375 VQQ3MS the iniquity H5771 of the father H1 ? When the son H1121 hath done H6213 VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 , and hath kept H8104 all H3605 NMS my statutes H2708 , and hath done H6213 them , he shall surely live H2421 .
20 The soul H5315 D-NFS that sinneth H2398 , it H1931 PPRO-3FS shall die H4191 . The son H1121 NMS shall not H3808 NADV bear H5375 VQY3MS the iniquity H5771 of the father H1 , neither H3808 NADV shall the father H1 bear H5375 VQY3MS the iniquity H5771 of the son H1121 : the righteousness H6666 of the righteous H6662 shall be H1961 VQY2MS upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and the wickedness H7564 of the wicked H7563 shall be H1961 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him .
21 But if H3588 CONJ the wicked H7563 will turn H7725 VQY3MS from all H3605 NMS his sins H2403 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H6213 W-VQQ3MS , and keep H8104 all H3605 NMS my statutes H2708 , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 , he shall surely live H2421 , he shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 .
22 All H3605 NMS his transgressions H6588 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H6213 VQQ3MS , they shall not H3808 NADV be mentioned H2142 unto him : in his righteousness H6666 that H834 RPRO he hath done H6213 VQQ3MS he shall live H2421 .
23 Have I any pleasure at all H2654 that the wicked H7563 AMS should die H4194 ? saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 : and not H3808 D-NPAR that he should return H7725 from his ways H1870 , and live H2421 ?
24 But when the righteous H6662 AMS turneth away H7725 from his righteousness H6666 , and committeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS iniquity H5766 NMS , and doeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS according to all H3605 NMS the abominations H8441 that H834 RPRO the wicked H7563 man doeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS , shall he live H2421 ? All H3605 NMS his righteousness H6666 that H834 RPRO he hath done H6213 W-VQQ3MS shall not H3808 NADV be mentioned H2142 : in his trespass H4604 that H834 RPRO he hath trespassed H4603 , and in his sin H2403 that H834 RPRO he hath sinned H2398 VQQ3MS , in them shall he die H4191 .
25 Yet ye say H559 , The way H1870 NMS of the Lord H136 EDS is not equal H8505 . Hear H8085 VQI2MP now H4994 IJEC , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 ; Is not H3808 NADV my way H1870 NMS equal H8505 ? are not H3808 NADV your ways H1870 NMS unequal H8505 ?
26 When a righteous H6662 AMS man turneth away H7725 from his righteousness H6666 , and committeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS iniquity H5766 NMS , and dieth H4191 in H5921 PREP-3MP them ; for his iniquity H5766 that H834 RPRO he hath done H6213 W-VQQ3MS shall he die H4191 .
27 Again , when the wicked H7563 AMS man turneth away H7725 from his wickedness H7564 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H6213 W-VQY3MS , and doeth H6213 W-VQY3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall save his soul alive H2421 .
28 Because he considereth H7200 , and turneth away H7725 from all H3605 M-CMS his transgressions H6588 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H6213 VQQ3MS , he shall surely live H2421 , he shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 .
29 Yet saith H559 the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , The way H1870 NMS of the Lord H136 EDS is not equal H8505 . O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , are not H3808 NADV my ways H1870 NMS equal H8505 ? are not H3808 NADV your ways H1870 NMS unequal H8505 ?
30 Therefore H3651 L-ADV I will judge H8199 you , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , every one H376 NMS according to his ways H1870 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 . Repent H7725 , and turn H7725 yourselves from all H3605 M-CMS your transgressions H6588 ; so iniquity H5771 shall not H3808 W-NPAR be H1961 VQY3MS your ruin H4383 .
31 Cast away H7993 from you all H3605 NMS your transgressions H6588 , whereby H834 RPRO ye have transgressed H6586 ; and make H6213 you a new H2319 heart H3820 NMS and a new H2319 spirit H7307 W-GFS : for why H4100 WL-IGAT will ye die H4191 , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS ?
32 For H3588 CONJ I have no pleasure H2654 in the death H4194 of him that dieth H4191 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 : wherefore turn H7725 yourselves , and live H2421 ye .
