Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
`And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying :
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying ,
`
What --
to
you ,
ye
--
using
this simile
Concerning
the ground
of Israel ,
saying
: Fathers do
eat
unripe
fruit
, And the sons'
teeth are blunted
?
“
What do
you people
mean
by
quoting
this proverb
about
the land
of Israel: ‘The
fathers have
eaten
sour
grapes
, and the teeth of
the
children
are set
on
edge’
?
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Ye
have
no more
the
use
of
this simile
in Israel.
As
surely
as
I live ,
declares
the Lord GOD
, you
will
no longer
quote
this proverb
in Israel.
Lo,
all
the
souls
are
Mine
, As
the
soul of
the
father ,
So
also
the
soul
of
the
son --
they
are Mine ,
The soul that
is sinning
--
it
doth
die.
Behold
, every
soul belongs
to
Me;
both
father and
son are Mine .
The soul who
sins
is the
one
who
will
die.
And
a man ,
when
he
is righteous ,
And hath
done
judgment
and righteousness,
Now
suppose
a man is righteous and does
what
is
just
and right:
On
the
mountains
he hath
not
eaten,
And
his
eyes
he
hath
not lifted
up
Unto
idols of the house of Israel ,
And
the
wife
of
his
neighbour
defiled
not ,
And
to
a separated
woman cometh
not
near,
He does
not eat
at
the
mountain
or
look
to
the
idols of the house of Israel .
He
does
not defile
his
neighbor’s
wife
or
approach
a woman during
her
period.
A
man
--
he doth
not oppress, His
pledge to the debtor he
doth
return,
Plunder
he doth
not take
away
, His bread to the hungry he
doth
give,
And the naked doth
cover
with a
garment,
He does
not oppress another
, but
restores
the
pledge to the debtor .
He does
not commit
robbery
, but
gives
his bread to the hungry and covers
the naked with clothing.
In
usury
he doth
not
give,
and
increase
taketh
not, From
perversity
he turneth
back
his hand ,
True judgment
he
doth
between man
and
man
.
He does
not engage
in
usury
or
take
excess
interest
, but
he withholds
his hand from
iniquity
and
executes
true justice
between men
.
In
My statutes he
doth
walk,
And My judgments
he
hath
kept
--
to
deal
truly,
Righteous
`
is '
he,
he
surely liveth
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
He
follows
My statutes and faithfully
keeps
My ordinances.
That
man
is righteous;
surely he
will
live
, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
--
he
hath
begotten
a son, A
burglar
--
a
shedder
of
blood ,
And
he
hath
made
a
brother
of
one
of these,
Now
suppose
that
man
has
a violent
son, who
sheds
blood or
does
any
of these things
,
And
he
all
those
hath
not
done, For
even
on
the mountains
he
hath
eaten,
And
the wife
of
his neighbour
he
hath
defiled,
though
the
father
has
done none
of
them:
Indeed
, the son
eats
at
the mountain
and
defiles
his neighbor’s
wife.
The afflicted
and needy he
hath
oppressed,
Plunder
he hath
taken
violently
away,
A pledge he
doth
not
return,
And
unto
the
idols
he hath
lifted
up
his eyes ,
Abomination
he hath
done!
He
oppresses
the poor
and needy ;
he commits
robbery
and
does
not
restore
a pledge .
He lifts
his eyes to
idols;
he commits
abominations.
In usury he
hath
given,
and increase
taken,
And
he
liveth:
he doth
not live,
All these abominations he
hath
done
, He doth
surely die ,
his blood is
on him
.
He
engages
in usury and takes
excess
interest.
Will
this
son
live?
He will
not !
Since
he
has
committed
all these abominations, he will
surely die ;
his blood will
be
on his
own
head
.
And
--
lo,
he
hath
begotten
a son ,
And
he
seeth
all the sins of
his father ,
That
he
hath
done
, and
he
feareth
, And doth
not do like
them,
Now
suppose
this
son
has
a son who
sees
all the sins his father has
committed
, considers
them
, and does
not do likewise:
On
the
mountains
he hath
not
eaten,
And
his
eyes
he
hath
not lifted
up
Unto
idols of the house of Israel ,
The
wife
of
his
neighbour
he hath
not defiled,
He does
not eat
at
the
mountain
or
look
to
the
idols of the house of Israel .
He does
not defile
his
neighbor’s
wife.
A
man
--
he hath
not oppressed
, A pledge he
hath
not
bound
, And
plunder
he hath
not
taken
away,
His bread to the hungry he
hath
given,
And the naked he
covered
with a
garment,
He does
not oppress
another
, or
retain
a pledge, or
commit
robbery.
He gives
his bread to the hungry and covers
the naked with clothing.
From
the
afflicted
he hath
turned
back
his hand ,
Usury
and increase
he hath
not
taken,
My judgments
he
hath
done,
In
My statutes he
hath
walked,
He
doth
not die for the
iniquity
of
his father,
He doth
surely live.
He withholds
his hand from
harming
the
poor
and takes
no
interest
or
usury.
He keeps
My ordinances
and
follows
My statutes .
Such
a
man
will
not die for his father’s
iniquity.
He will
surely live.
His father --
because he used
oppression
, Did
violently
Plunder
a
brother, And that
which
`is'
not
good
did in
the
midst
of
his people ,
And
lo,
he
is
dying
in
his
iniquity
.
As
for
his father ,
he
will
die
for
his
own
iniquity,
because he practiced
extortion
, robbed
his
brother, and did what
was
wrong
among
his people.
And
ye
have
said
, Wherefore
hath
not
the son ,
Borne
of
the iniquity of the
father? And
--
the son judgment
and
righteousness
hath
done, All My statutes he
hath
kept
, And
he doeth
them,
he
surely liveth
.
Yet
you
may
ask
, ‘Why
shouldn’t
the son bear
the iniquity of his
father? ’
Since
the son has
done what
is
just
and
right
, carefully
observing
all My statutes, he will
surely live
.
The soul that
doth
sin
--
it
doth
die. A son doth
not bear of
the iniquity of the
father, And a father doth
not bear of
the iniquity of the
son ,
The righteousness of the righteous is
on
him, And the wickedness of the wicked is
on
him.
The soul who
sins
is
the
one
who
will
die. A son will
not bear the iniquity of his
father, and a father will
not bear the iniquity of his
son .
The righteousness of the righteous man
will
fall
upon
him, and the wickedness of the wicked man
will
fall
upon
him.
And
the wicked --
when
he
turneth
back
From all his
sins that
he hath
done
, And
he
hath
kept
all My statutes, And hath
done
judgment
and righteousness
, He doth
surely live ,
he doth
not die.
But
if
the wicked man
turns
from all the
sins he has
committed
, keeps
all My statutes, and does
what
is
just
and right
, he will
surely live ;
he will
not die.
All
his
transgressions that
he hath
done
Are
not
remembered
to
him ,
In
his
righteousness that
he hath
done
he liveth
.
None
of
the
transgressions he has
committed
will
be
held
against
him .
Because
of
the
righteousness he has
practiced,
he will
live
.
Do I at
all
desire
the death of the wicked? An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
Is
it
not
in
his
turning
back
from his way
--
And he
hath
lived
?
Do I take
any
pleasure
in
the death of the wicked? declares
the Lord GOD.
Wouldn’t
I
prefer
that
he
turn
from his ways
and live
?
And
in
the
turning
back
of
the
righteous from his righteousness ,
And he
hath
done
perversity
, According
to
all
the abominations That
the wicked hath
done
, he
doth
--
thus
he liveth,
All
his
righteousnesses
that
he hath
done
are
not
remembered ,
For
his
trespass
that
he
hath
trespassed,
And for
his
sin that
he hath
sinned
, For
them
he doth
die.
But
if
a
righteous man
turns
from his righteousness and practices
iniquity
, committing
the same
abominations as
the wicked, will
he live?
None
of
the
righteous
acts
he did
will
be
remembered .
Because
of
the
unfaithfulness
and sin he has
committed
, he will
die.
And
ye
have
said
, Not
pondered
is
the way of the Lord. Hear ,
I
pray
you
, O house of Israel ,
My way --
is it
not
pondered
? Are
not your ways unpondered
?
Yet
you
say
, ‘
The way of the Lord is
not
just
. ’
Hear now
, O house of Israel :
Is
it
My way that
is unjust
? Is
it
not your ways that
are
unjust
?
In
the
turning
back
of
the
righteous from his righteousness ,
And he
hath
done
perversity
, And
he is
dying
by
them,
for his
perversity
That
he hath
done
he dieth
.
If
a
righteous man
turns
from his righteousness and practices
iniquity
, he will
die
for this.
He will
die
because
of
the
iniquity
he has
committed
.
And
in
the
turning
back
of
the
wicked From his
wickedness that
he hath
done,
And he
doth
judgment
and righteousness
, He his soul
doth
keep
alive
.
But
if
a
wicked man
turns
from the
wickedness he has
committed
and does
what
is
just
and right
, he will
save
his life
.
And
he seeth
and turneth
back,
From all his
transgressions that
he hath
done
, He doth
surely live ,
he doth
not die ,
Because
he considered
and turned
from all the
transgressions he had
committed
, he will
surely live ;
he will
not die .
And
the house of Israel have
said
, Not
pondered
is
the way of the Lord ,
My ways --
are
they
not
pondered?
O house of Israel --
are
not your ways unpondered
?
Yet
the house of Israel says
, ‘
The way of the Lord is
not
just.’
Are
My ways unjust,
O house of Israel ?
Is
it
not your ways that
are
unjust
?
Therefore, each according to his ways I
judge
you
, O
house
of
Israel?
An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
Turn
ye
back,
yea,
turn yourselves
back,
From all your transgressions, And
iniquity is
not to
you
for
a
stumbling-block,
Therefore, O
house
of
Israel,
I
will
judge
you,
each according to his ways, declares
the Lord GOD.
Repent
and
turn from all your transgressions, so
that
your
iniquity will
not become
your
downfall.
Cast from off
you
all your
transgressions ,
By
which
ye
have transgressed
, And make
to
you
a new heart ,
and a new spirit ,
And
why do
ye
die, O house of Israel?
Cast away
from yourselves
all the
transgressions you
have committed
, and fashion
for
yourselves
a new heart and a new spirit .
Why should
you
die, O house of Israel?
For I have
no pleasure in the
death of
the
dying
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
And
turn
ye
back
and live!
For I take
no pleasure in anyone’s
death, declares
the Lord GOD.
So
repent
and live!
