Berean Standard Bible
Son of man, speak to the
children
of
thy
people ,
and say
unto
them ,
When
I bring the sword upon
a land, if
the people of the
land take
a man of
their
coasts
, and
set
him for
their watchman :
“
Son of man, speak to your
people and tell
them :
‘Suppose
I bring the sword against
a land, and
the people of that
land choose
a man from
among
them
, appointing
him as
their watchman ,
If
when
he seeth
the sword come
upon
the
land ,
he
blow
the
trumpet,
and warn the people ;
and
he sees
the sword coming
against
that
land and blows
the
ram’s
horn
to
warn the people .
Then whosoever
heareth
the sound of the trumpet
, and taketh
not
warning;
if
the sword come,
and take
him away, his blood shall
be upon
his own head.
Then if
anyone
hears
the sound of the horn
but
fails
to
heed
the
warning
, and the sword comes
and takes
him away, his blood will
be on
his own head.
He heard the sound of the trumpet,
and
took
not
warning ;
his blood shall
be upon
him
. But
he that
taketh
warning shall
deliver
his soul
.
Since
he heard the sound of the horn
but
failed
to
heed
the
warning ,
his blood will
be on
his
own
head
. If
he had
heeded
the
warning ,
he
would
have
saved
his life
.
But if the watchman see
the sword come,
and blow not
the trumpet,
and
the people be
not
warned;
if
the sword come,
and take
any
person
from
among
them
, he
is
taken away in his iniquity ;
but his
blood
will
I require
at
the watchman's
hand
.
But if the watchman sees
the sword coming
and fails
to
blow the horn
to
warn
the people ,
and
the sword comes
and takes
away
a
life
, then
that
one
will
be
taken away in his iniquity ,
but I will
hold
the watchman
accountable
for
his
blood
. ’
So
thou
, O son of man, I have set
thee
a watchman unto
the house of Israel; therefore
thou
shalt
hear the word at
my mouth ,
and warn
them from me.
As
for
you
, O son of man, I have made
you
a watchman for
the house of Israel; so
hear the word from
My mouth and give
them the
warning
from Me.
When
I say unto
the wicked, O wicked man, thou
shalt
surely die ;
if
thou
dost
not speak to warn
the
wicked
from his way, that wicked man shall
die in his iniquity ;
but
his blood will
I
require
at
thine
hand
.
If
I say to
the wicked, ‘
O wicked man, you
will
surely die ,’
but
you
do
not speak out
to dissuade
him
from his way, then
that wicked man will
die in his iniquity ,
yet
I
will
hold
you
accountable
for
his blood.
Nevertheless,
if thou
warn the wicked of
his
way
to turn from it;
if
he do
not turn from his
way
, he shall
die in his iniquity ;
but thou
hast
delivered
thy
soul
.
But
if you
warn the wicked man
to turn from his
way,
and
he does
not turn from it
, he will
die in his iniquity ,
but you
will
have
saved
your
life
.
Therefore
, O
thou
son of man, speak
unto
the house of Israel ;
Thus
ye
speak,
saying,
If
our transgressions and our sins be
upon us, and we pine
away in
them ,
how should
we then
live?
Now
as
for
you
, son of man, tell
the house of Israel that
this
is
what
they
have
said:
‘
Our transgressions and our sins are
heavy
upon us, and we are
wasting
away because
of
them !
How can
we live? ’
Say unto
them ,
As I live, saith
the Lord GOD, I have
no pleasure in the death of the wicked ;
but that the wicked turn from his
way
and live :
turn ye,
turn ye
from your evil ways ;
for why will
ye
die, O house of Israel?
Say to
them :
‘
As surely
as
I live, declares
the Lord GOD, I take
no pleasure in the death of the wicked ,
but rather
that the wicked should
turn from their
ways
and live .
Turn !
Turn from your evil ways !
For why should
you
die, O house of Israel? ’
Therefore, thou
son of man, say unto
the
children
of
thy
people ,
The righteousness of the righteous shall
not deliver him in the day of his transgression :
as
for
the wickedness of the wicked ,
he
shall
not
fall
thereby
in
the day that
he turneth
from his wickedness ;
neither
shall
the righteous be able to live
for
his righteousness in
the day that
he sinneth
.
Therefore, son of man, say to
your
people :
‘
The righteousness of the righteous man
will
not deliver him in the day of his transgression ;
neither
will
the wickedness of the wicked man
cause
him
to
stumble
on
the day he turns
from his wickedness .
Nor
will
the righteous man
be able to survive
by
his righteousness on
the day he sins
. ’
When
I shall
say
to
the righteous ,
that he shall
surely live ;
if
he trust
to
his own
righteousness ,
and commit
iniquity, all
his righteousnesses
shall
not
be remembered; but
for
his
iniquity that
he hath
committed ,
he
shall
die
for
it
.
If
I tell
the righteous man
that he will
surely live ,
but
he then
trusts
in
his righteousness and commits
iniquity, then
none
of
his righteous
works
will
be remembered; he
will
die
because
of
the
iniquity he has
committed.
Again,
when
I say
unto
the wicked, Thou
shalt
surely die ;
if
he turn
from his sin ,
and do
that
which
is lawful
and right ;
But
if
I tell
the wicked man
, ‘You
will
surely die ,’
and
he turns
from his sin and does
what
is just
and right —
If the
wicked
restore
the
pledge, give
again
that
he had
robbed
, walk
in the statutes of life ,
without committing
iniquity ;
he shall
surely live ,
he shall
not die.
if he
restores
a
pledge, makes
restitution
for
what
he has
stolen
, and
walks
in the statutes of life without practicing
iniquity —then
he will
surely live ;
he will
not die.
None of his
sins that
he hath
committed shall
be mentioned
unto
him :
he hath
done that
which
is lawful
and right; he shall
surely live.
None of the
sins he has
committed will
be held
against
him .
He has
done what
is just
and right; he will
surely live.
Yet the
children
of
thy
people say, The way of the Lord is not equal:
but as
for
them,
their way is not equal
.
Yet your
people say, ‘
The way of the Lord is not just.’
But it
is
their way that
is not just
.
When
the
righteous turneth
from his righteousness ,
and committeth
iniquity, he shall
even
die thereby
.
If
a
righteous man
turns
from his righteousness and commits
iniquity, he will
die for
it
.
But if the
wicked turn
from his wickedness ,
and do
that
which
is lawful
and right, he shall
live thereby
.
But if a
wicked man
turns
from his wickedness and does
what
is just
and right, he will
live because
of
this
.
Yet ye
say, The way of the Lord is not equal
. O
ye
house
of
Israel,
I will judge you every
one
after
his ways.
Yet you
say, ‘
The way of the Lord is not just
. ’
But
I will judge each
of
you according
to
his ways ,
O
house
of
Israel
. ”
And
it
came
to
pass
in the twelfth year of our captivity,
in
the
tenth
month
, in
the fifth day of the month, that
one
that
had
escaped
out
of
Jerusalem came unto
me ,
saying
, The city is
smitten.
In the twelfth year of our exile
, on
the fifth day of the tenth
month, a
fugitive
from
Jerusalem came to
me and
reported
, “
The city has
been
taken!”
Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in
the
evening
, afore
he
that
was
escaped
came;
and had
opened my mouth ,
until
he
came to me in the morning ;
and
my mouth was opened ,
and I was no more
dumb
.
Now the evening
before
the
fugitive
arrived,
the
hand of the LORD was upon me, and He
opened my mouth before
the
man
came to me in the morning .
So
my mouth was opened and I was no longer
mute
.
Then the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying,
Then the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Son of man, they
that
inhabit
those wastes
of
the land of Israel speak,
saying, Abraham was one, and
he inherited
the land :
but we are many; the land is
given us for
inheritance
.
“
Son of man, those living
in
the ruins
in
the
land of Israel are
saying, ‘
Abraham was only
one man
, yet
he possessed
the land .
But we are many; surely
the land has
been
given to
us as
a
possession
. ’
Wherefore
say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Ye
eat with the blood, and
lift up your eyes toward
your idols, and shed blood :
and
shall
ye
possess the land?
Therefore
tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘You
eat meat
with the blood in
it
, lift up your eyes to
your idols, and shed blood .
Should
you
then
possess the land?
Ye
stand
upon
your sword
, ye
work
abomination
, and ye
defile
every
one
his neighbour's
wife :
and
shall
ye
possess the land?
You
have
relied
on
your swords
, you
have
committed
detestable
acts
, and each
of
you
has
defiled
his neighbor’s
wife .
Should
you
then
possess the land? ’
Say
thou
thus
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
As I live, surely
they
that
are
in the wastes
shall
fall by the sword, and
him
that
is
in the open field will
I give to the
beasts
to
be devoured, and they
that
be
in the forts
and in
the
caves shall
die of
the
pestilence
.
Tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
As surely
as
I live, those
in the ruins
will
fall by the sword, those
in the open field I will
give to be devoured by
wild
animals
, and those
in the strongholds
and caves will
die by
plague
.
For
I will lay
the land most
desolate, and the pomp
of her strength shall
cease;
and
the mountains of Israel shall
be
desolate, that none
shall
pass through.
I will make
the land a
desolate waste
, and the pride
of her strength will
come
to
an
end.
The mountains of Israel will
become
desolate, so
that no
one
will
pass through.
Then shall
they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid
the land most
desolate because of all their
abominations which
they have committed.
Then they will
know that I am the LORD, when I have made
the land a
desolate waste
because of all the
abominations they have committed. ’
Also
, thou
son of man, the
children
of
thy
people still
are talking against
thee
by
the walls and in the doors
of the
houses ,
and
speak
one to another, every
one
to his brother, saying,
Come ,
I
pray
you,
and hear what
is
the word
that cometh
forth
from the LORD .
As
for
you
, son of man, your
people are talking about
you
near
the city
walls and in the doorways
of their
houses .
One speaks
to another, each
saying
to his brother, ‘
Come and hear the message
that has
come
from the LORD !’
And
they
come unto
thee
as the
people
cometh
, and
they
sit before thee
as
my
people
, and they
hear thy
words ,
but they will
not
do them :
for
with
their
mouth
they shew
much
love ,
but
their heart
goeth
after
their covetousness
.
So
My
people
come to
you
as usual
, sit before you
, and hear your
words ;
but they do not
put
them into
practice.
Although
they express
love with
their mouths,
their hearts
pursue
dishonest
gain
.
And,
lo
, thou
art
unto
them as
a very
lovely
song
of one
that
hath
a pleasant
voice, and
can
play
well
on
an instrument :
for
they hear thy
words ,
but they
do them
not.
Indeed
, you
are
to
them like
a singer
of love
songs
with
a beautiful
voice, who
skillfully
plays
an instrument .
They hear your
words but do not put
them
into
practice
.
And
when this
cometh
to pass ,
(lo,
it will come ,)
then shall
they know that a prophet hath
been among them.
So
when it
comes
to pass —and
surely
it will come —
then they will
know that a prophet has
been among them. ”
