1 Again the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , speak H1696 VPFC to H413 PREP the children H1121 of thy people H5971 , and say H559 unto H413 PREP them , When H3588 CONJ I bring H935 the sword H2719 NFS upon H5921 PREP-3FS a land H776 GFS , if the people H5971 NMS of the land H776 D-GFS take H3947 a H259 MMS man H376 NMS of their coasts H7097 , and set H5414 him for their watchman H6822 :
3 If when he seeth H7200 the sword H2719 D-GFS come H935 VQQ3FS upon H5921 PREP the land H776 D-GFS , he blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 , and warn H2094 the people H5971 D-NMS ;
4 Then whosoever heareth H8085 the sound H6963 CMS of the trumpet H7782 , and taketh not warning H2094 ; if the sword H2719 GFS come H935 W-VQY3FS , and take him away H3947 , his blood H1818 CMS-3MS shall be H1961 upon his own head H7218 .
5 He heard H8085 the sound H6963 CMS of the trumpet H7782 , and took not warning H2094 ; his blood H1818 CMS-3MS shall be H1961 VQY3MS upon him . But he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS that taketh warning H2094 shall deliver H4422 his soul H5315 NMS-3MS .
6 But if H3588 CONJ the watchman H6822 see H7200 VQY3MS the sword H2719 D-GFS come H935 VQQ3FS , and blow H8628 not H3808 ADV the trumpet H7782 , and the people H5971 be not H3808 ADV warned H2094 ; if the sword H2719 GFS come H935 W-VQY3FS , and take H3947 W-VQY3FS any person H5315 from among H4480 them , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is taken away H3947 in his iniquity H5771 ; but his blood H1818 will I require H1875 at the watchman H6822 \'s hand H3027 .
7 So thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS , O son H1121 CMS of man H120 NMS , I have set H5414 thee a watchman H6822 unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 ; therefore thou shalt hear H8085 the word H1697 VQPMS at my mouth H6310 M-CMS , and warn H2094 them from H4480 PREP-1MS me .
8 When I say H559 unto the wicked H7563 , O wicked H7563 AMS man , thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA ; if thou dost not H3808 W-NPAR speak H1696 to warn H2094 the wicked H7563 AMS from his way H1870 M-CMS-3MS , that H1931 PPRO-3MS wicked H7563 AMS man shall die H4191 VQY2MS in his iniquity H5771 ; but his blood H1818 will I require H1245 at thine hand H3027 M-CFS-2MS .
9 Nevertheless , if H3588 CONJ thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS warn H2094 the wicked H7563 AMS of his way H1870 M-CMS-3MS to turn H7725 from H4480 M-PREP-3FS it ; if he do not H3808 W-NPAR turn H7725 VQQ3MS from his way H1870 M-CMS-3MS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall die H4191 VQY3MS in his iniquity H5771 ; but thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS hast delivered H5337 thy soul H5315 .
10 Therefore , O thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS son H1121 CMS of man H120 NMS , speak H559 unto H413 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 ; Thus H3651 ADV ye speak H559 , saying H559 L-VQFC , If H3588 CONJ our transgressions H6588 and our sins H2403 be upon H5921 PREP-1MP us , and we H587 PPRO-1MP pine away H4743 in them , how H349 W-IJEC should we then live H2421 ?
11 Say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , I have no pleasure H2654 in the death H4194 of the wicked H7563 ; but H518 PART that the wicked H7563 AMS turn H7725 from his way H1870 M-CMS-3MS and live H2421 : turn H7725 ye , turn H7725 ye from your evil H7451 ways H1870 ; for why H4100 WL-IGAT will ye die H4191 , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS ?
12 Therefore , thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS son H1121 CMS of man H120 NMS , say H559 unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of thy people H5971 , The righteousness H6666 of the righteous H6662 shall not H3808 NADV deliver H5337 him in the day H3117 B-NMS of his transgression H6588 : as for the wickedness H7564 of the wicked H7563 , he shall not H3808 ADV fall H3782 thereby in the day H3117 B-NMS that he turneth H7725 VQFC-3MS from his wickedness H7562 ; neither H3808 NADV shall the righteous H6662 W-AMS be able H3201 VQY3MS to live H2421 for his righteousness in the day H3117 B-NMS that he sinneth H2398 .
13 When I shall say H559 to the righteous H6662 , that he shall surely live H2421 ; if he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS trust H982 to H5921 PREP his own righteousness H6666 , and commit H6213 W-VQQ3MS iniquity H5766 NMS , all H3605 NMS his righteousnesses H6666 shall not H3808 NADV be remembered H2142 ; but for his iniquity H5766 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H6213 W-VQQ3MS , he shall die H4191 for it .
14 Again , when I say H559 unto the wicked H7563 , Thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA ; if he turn H7725 W-VQQ3MS from his sin H2403 , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 ;
15 If the wicked H7563 AMS restore H7725 VHY3MS the pledge H2258 , give again H7999 VPY3MS that he had robbed H1500 , walk H1980 VQQ3MS in the statutes H2708 of life H2416 D-NMP , without H1115 L-NPAR committing H6213 VQFC iniquity H5766 NMS ; he shall surely live H2421 , he shall not H3808 NADV die H4191 .
16 None H3808 NADV of his sins H2403 that H834 RPRO he hath committed H2398 VQQ3MS shall be mentioned H2142 unto him : he hath done H6213 VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 ; he shall surely live H2421 .
17 Yet the children H1121 of thy people H5971 say H559 W-VQQ3MP , The way H1870 NMS of the Lord H136 EDS is not equal H8505 : but as for them H1992 , their way H1870 NMS is not equal H8505 .
18 When the righteous H6662 AMS turneth H7725 from his righteousness H6666 , and committeth H6213 W-VQQ3MS iniquity H5766 NMS , he shall even die H4191 thereby .
19 But if the wicked H7563 AMS turn H7725 from his wickedness H7564 , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall live H2421 thereby H5921 PREP-3MP .
20 Yet ye say H559 , The way H1870 NMS of the Lord H136 EDS is not equal H8505 . O ye house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS , I will judge H8199 you every one H376 NMS after his ways H1870 NMS .
21 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the twelfth H8147 year H8141 NFS of our captivity H1546 , in the tenth H6224 month , in the fifth H2568 day of the month H2320 LD-NMS , that one that had escaped H6412 D-NMS out of Jerusalem H3389 came H935 VQPMS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC , The city H5892 D-GFS is smitten H5221 .
22 Now the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 VQQ3FS upon H413 PREP-1MS me in the evening H6153 , before H6440 L-CMP he that was escaped H6412 D-NMS came H935 VQFC ; and had opened H6605 W-VQY3MS my mouth H6310 , until H5704 PREP he came H935 VQFC to H413 PREP-1MS me in the morning H1242 B-NMS ; and my mouth H6310 was opened H6605 , and I was no more dumb H481 .
23 Then the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
24 Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , they that inhabit H3427 those H428 D-DPRO-3MP wastes H2723 of H5921 PREP the land H127 of Israel H3478 speak H559 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Abraham H85 was H1961 VQQ3MS one H259 MMS , and he inherited H3423 the land H776 D-GFS : but we H587 are many H7227 AMP ; the land H776 D-GFS is given H5414 VNQ3FS us for inheritance H4181 .
25 Wherefore H3651 L-ADV say H559 unto H413 PREP them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Ye eat H398 with H5921 PREP the blood H1818 , and lift up H5375 your eyes H5869 toward H413 PREP your idols H1544 , and shed H8210 blood H1818 : and shall ye possess H3423 the land H776 WD-GFS ?
26 Ye stand H5975 upon H5921 PREP your sword H2719 , ye work H6213 abomination H8441 , and ye defile H2930 every one H376 W-NMS his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS \'s wife H802 CFS : and shall ye possess H3423 the land H776 WD-GFS ?
27 Say H559 VQY2MS thou thus H3541 unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , surely H518 PART they that H834 RPRO are in the wastes H2723 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 , and him that H834 RPRO is in H5921 PREP the open H6440 CMP field H7704 D-NMS will I give H5414 to the beasts H2416 to be devoured H398 , and they that H834 RPRO be in the forts H4679 and in the caves H4631 shall die H4191 of the pestilence H1698 .
28 For I will lay H5414 the land H776 D-GFS most desolate H8077 , and the pomp H1347 CMS of her strength H5797 shall cease H7673 ; and the mountains H2022 CMP of Israel H3478 shall be desolate H8074 , that none H369 shall pass through H5674 .
29 Then shall they know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS , when I have laid H5414 the land H776 D-GFS most desolate H8077 because of H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS their abominations H8441 which H834 RPRO they have committed H6213 .
30 Also , thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS son H1121 CMS of man H120 NMS , the children H1121 CMS of thy people H5971 still are talking H1696 against thee by H681 the walls H7023 and in the doors H6607 of the houses H1004 , and speak H1696 one H2297 to H854 PREP another H259 , every one H376 NMS to H854 PREP his brother H251 CMS-3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Come H935 , I pray you H4994 IJEC , and hear H8085 what H4100 IGAT is the word H1697 D-NMS that cometh forth H3318 from PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
31 And they come H935 unto H413 PREP-2MS thee as the people H5971 NMS cometh H3996 , and they sit H3427 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee as my people H5971 , and they hear H8085 thy words H1697 , but they will not H3808 NADV do H6213 them : for H3588 CONJ with their mouth H6310 B-CMS-3MP they H1992 PPRO-3MP show H6213 much love H5690 , but their heart H3820 CMS-3MP goeth H1980 VQPMS after H310 PREP their covetousness H1215 .
32 And , lo H2009 , thou art unto them as a very lovely H5690 song H7892 of one that hath a pleasant H3303 voice H6963 CMS , and can play well on an instrument H5059 : for they hear H8085 thy words H1697 , but they do H6213 them not H369 .
33 And when this cometh to pass H935 , ( IJEC lo H2009 IJEC , it will come H935 , ) then shall they know H3045 that H3588 CONJ a prophet H5030 hath been H1961 VQQ3MS among H8432 them .
