Ezekiel 18:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man,
2 what is the meaning of this proverb that you recite in the land of Israel: "Fathers have eaten green grapes, thus their children's teeth are on edge"?
3 As I live, says the Lord GOD: I swear that there shall no longer be anyone among you who will repeat this proverb in Israel.
4 For all lives are mine; the life of the father is like the life of the son, both are mine; only the one who sins shall die.
5 If a man is virtuous-- if he does what is right and just,
6 if he does not eat on the mountains, nor raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; if he does not defile his neighbor's wife, nor have relations with a woman in her menstrual period;
7 if he oppresses no one, gives back the pledge received for a debt, commits no robbery; if he gives food to the hungry and clothes the naked;
8 if he does not lend at interest nor exact usury; if he holds off from evildoing, judges fairly between a man and his opponent;
9 if he lives by my statutes and is careful to observe my ordinances, that man is virtuous-- he shall surely live, says the Lord GOD.
10 But if he begets a son who is a thief, a murderer, or who does any of these things
11 (though the father does none of them), a son who eats on the mountains, defiles the wife of his neighbor,
12 oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not give back a pledge, raises his eyes to idols, does abominable things,
13 lends at interest and exacts usury-- this son certainly shall not live. Because he practiced all these abominations, he shall surely die; his death shall be his own fault.
14 On the other hand, if a man begets a son who, seeing all the sins his father commits, yet fears and does not imitate him;
15 a son who does not eat on the mountains, or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor's wife;
16 who does not oppress anyone, or exact a pledge, or commit robbery; who gives his food to the hungry and clothes the naked;
17 who holds off from evildoing, accepts no interest or usury, but keeps my ordinances and lives by my statutes-- this one shall not die for the sins of his father, but shall surely live.
18 Only the father, since he violated rights, and robbed, and did what was not good among his people, shall in truth die for his sins.
19 You ask: "Why is not the son charged with the guilt of his father?" Because the son has done what is right and just, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, he shall surely live.
20 Only the one who sins shall die. The son shall not be charged with the guilt of his father, nor shall the father be charged with the guilt of his son. The virtuous man's virtue shall be his own, as the wicked man's wickedness shall be his own.
21 But if the wicked man turns away from all the sins he committed, if he keeps all my statutes and does what is right and just, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 None of the crimes he committed shall be remembered against him; he shall live because of the virtue he has practiced.
23 Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord GOD. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live?
24 And if the virtuous man turns from the path of virtue to do evil, the same kind of abominable things that the wicked man does, can he do this and still live? None of his virtuous deeds shall be remembered, because he has broken faith and committed sin; because of this, he shall die.
25 You say, "The LORD'S way is not fair!" Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?
26 When a virtuous man turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die.
27 But if a wicked man, turning from the wickedness he has committed, does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life;
28 since he has turned away from all the sins which he committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 And yet the house of Israel says, "The LORD'S way is not fair!" Is it my way that is not fair, house of Israel, or rather, is it not that your ways are not fair?
30 Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says the Lord GOD. Turn and be converted from all your crimes, that they may be no cause of guilt for you.
31 Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies, says the Lord GOD. Return 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 .
4 Behold H2005 IJEC , all H3605 NMS souls H5315 are mine ; as the soul H5315 of the father H1 , so also the soul H5315 of the son H1121 is mine : the soul H5315 D-NFS that sinneth H2398 , it H1931 PPRO-3FS shall die H4191 .
5 But if H3588 CONJ a man H376 W-NMS be H1961 VQY3MS just H6662 AMS , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS that which is lawful H4941 NMS and right H6666 ,
6 And hath not H3808 NADV eaten H398 upon H413 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 , neither H3808 NADV hath defiled H2930 his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS \'s wife H802 CFS , neither H3808 NADV hath come near H7126 to H413 PREP a menstruous H5079 woman H802 NFS ,
7 And hath not H3808 NADV oppressed H3238 any H376 W-NMS , but hath restored H7725 VHY3MS to the debtor H2326 his pledge H2258 , hath spoiled H1497 none H3808 NADV by violence H1500 , hath given H5414 VHFA his bread H3899 CMS-3MS to the hungry H7457 , and hath covered H3680 VPY3MS the naked H5903 with a garment H899 ;
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 ,
12 Hath oppressed H3238 the poor H6041 AMS and needy H34 W-AMS , hath spoiled H1497 by violence H1500 , hath not H3808 NADV restored H7725 VHY3MS the pledge H2258 , and hath lifted up H5375 VQQ3MS his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS to H413 W-PREP the idols H1544 , hath committed H6213 VQQ3MS abomination H8441 ,
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 ,
16 Neither H3808 NADV hath oppressed H3238 any H376 W-NMS , hath not H3808 NADV withheld H2254 the pledge H2258 , neither H3808 NADV hath spoiled H1497 by violence H1500 , but hath given H5414 his bread H3899 CMS-3MS to the hungry H7457 , and hath covered H3680 VPQ3MS the naked H5903 with a garment H899 ,
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 .
