◄ EZE 18 ► ║ ═ ©

18 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 2 “What, is to you, you using this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying,

‘Fathers eat sour grapes,

and the teeth of the sons are blunted’?

3 The life of me—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh—if using this proverb will yet be for you in Israel. 4 Look! All the lives—they, belong to me; as the life of the father so as the life of the son, they, belong to me. The life, the sinning one, it will die.

5 And a man, if he is righteous,

and he does justice and righteousness—

6 on the mountains, he does not eat,

and his eyes he does not lift to the idols of the house of Israel,

and the wife of his neighbor he does not make unclean,

and to a woman of menstruation, he does not approach;

7 and a man he does not oppress.

His pledge he returns, to a debtor.

Robbery he does not rob;

his bread he gives to the hungry,

and nakedness he covers, with clothing.

8 With interest, he does not give,

and usury he does not take;

from perversity, he turns back his hand;

a judgment of truth he does between a man and a man;

9 in my statutes, he walks,

and my judgments he keeps,

to do truth—

righteous, is he.

Living, he will live—

the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.

Then he begets a violent son, one pouring out blood, and he does, to a brother from one of these things[fn]—11 But he, all of these he did not do—

for he even eats on the mountains,

and the wife of his neighbor he defiles;

12 the poor and needy he oppresses;

robberies he robs;

a pledge he does not return;

and to the idols he lifts his eyes;

an abomination he does;

13 with interest he gave,

and usury he took—

and will he live?

He will not live!

All these abominations he did.

Dying, he will be put to death;

his blood will be upon him.

14 And look! He begets a son, and he sees all the sins of his father that he did, and he sees, and he does not do like them.

15 On the mountains he does not eat,

and his eyes he does not lift to the idols of the house of Israel;

the wife of his neighbor he does not defile;

16 and a man he does not oppress;

a pledge he does not take in pledge,

and robbery he does not rob;

his bread to the hungry, he gives,

and the naked he covers, with clothing;

17 from perversity, he turns back his hand;

interest and usury he does not take;

my judgments he does;

in my statutes, he walks—

he, he will not die in the iniquity of his father.

Living, he will live!

18 His father, because he oppressed an oppression, robbed the robbery of a brother, and what, is not good he did in the midst of his people—look! He dies in his iniquity.

19 But you say, ‘Why does the son not carry the iniquity of the father?’ And the son does justice and righteousness; all my statutes, he keeps, and he does them—living, he will live! 20 The life, the one sinning—it will die. A son will not carry the iniquity of the father, and a father will not carry the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous will be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon him.

21 But the wicked, if he turns from all his sins that he did, and he keeps all my statutes, and he does justice and righteousness—living, he will live; he will not die. 22 All his rebellions that he did—they will not be remembered of him; in his righteousness that he did, he will live. 23 Delighting, do I delight in the death of, the wicked—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh? Is it not when he turns from his ways that he will live? 24 But when, the righteous turns from his righteousness and does iniquity; as all the abominations that the wicked does, he does—and shall he live? All his righteous deeds that he did—they will not be remembered; in his violation that he violated, and in his sin that he sinned—in them, he will die.

25 But you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not correct.’ Listen, now, house of Israel! My way—is it not correct? Is it not your ways—they are not correct? 26 When, the righteous turns from his righteousness, and he does iniquity, then he dies because of them; in his injustice that he did he dies. 27 And when, the wicked turns from his wickedness that he did, and does justice and righteousness, he, his life he will keep alive 28 And if he sees, and he turns from all his rebellions that he did— living he will live; he will not die. 29 But the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not correct.’ My ways—are they not correct, house of Israel? Is it not your ways—they are not correct? 30 Therefore, a man—according to his ways, I will judge you, house of Israel—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh. Turn and turn from all your rebellions, and it will not be for you as an obstacle of iniquity. 31 Throw from upon you all your rebellions that you rebelled with them, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. And why should you die, house of Israel? 32 For I do not delight in the death of the dying one—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh—so turn back and live!”
