Ezekiel 33

1 According to the duty of a watchman, in warning the people, 7 Ezekiel is admonished of his duty. 10 God sheweth the justice of his ways towards the penitent, and towards revolters. 17 He maintaineth his justice. 21 Upon the news of the taking of Jerusalem he prophesieth the desolations of the land. 30 God's judgment upon the mockers of the prophets.

 33:1 ¶ Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 33:2 Son 1121 of man, 120 speak 1696 z8761 to x413 the children 1121 of thy people, 5971 and say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, When x3588 I bring 935 z8686 the sword 2719 upon x5921 a land, 776 if the people 5971 of the land 776 take 3947 z8804 a 259 man 376 of their coasts, 7097 x4480 and set 5414 z8804 him for their watchman: 6822 z8802

 33:3 If when he seeth 7200 z8804 x853 the sword 2719 come 935 z8802 upon x5921 the land, 776 he blow 8628 z8804 the trumpet, 7782 and warn 2094 z8689 x853 the people; 5971

 33:4 Then whosoever y8085 z8802 heareth 8085 z8804 x853 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 and taketh not warning; 2094 z8737 x3808 if the sword 2719 come, 935 z8799 and take him away, 3947 z8799 his blood 1818 shall be x1961 upon his own head. 7218

 33:5 He heard 8085 z8804 x853 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 and took not warning; 2094 z8737 x3808 his blood 1818 shall be x1961 upon him. But he x1931 that taketh warning 2094 z8737 shall deliver 4422 z8765 his soul. 5315

 33:6 But if x3588 the watchman 6822 z8802 see 7200 z8799 x853 the sword 2719 come, 935 z8802 and blow 8628 z8804 not x3808 the trumpet, 7782 and the people 5971 be not x3808 warned; 2094 z8737 if the sword 2719 come, 935 z8799 and take 3947 z8799 [any] person 5315 from among x4480 them, he x1931 is taken away 3947 z8738 in his iniquity; 5771 but his blood 1818 will I require 1875 z8799 at the watchman's 6822 z8802 hand. 3027 x4480

 33:7 ¶ So thou, x859 O son 1121 of man, 120 I have set 5414 z8804 thee a watchman 6822 z8802 unto the house 1004 of Israel; 3478 therefore thou shalt hear 8085 z8804 the word 1697 at my mouth, 6310 x4480 and warn 2094 z8689 them from x4480 me.

 33:8 When I say 559 z8800 unto the wicked, 7563 O wicked 7563 [man], thou shalt surely y4191 z8800 die; 4191 z8799 if thou dost not x3808 speak 1696 z8765 to warn 2094 z8687 the wicked 7563 from his way, 1870 x4480 that x1931 wicked 7563 [man] shall die 4191 z8799 in his iniquity; 5771 but his blood 1818 will I require 1245 z8762 at thine hand. 3027 x4480

 33:9 Nevertheless, if x3588 thou x859 warn 2094 z8689 the wicked 7563 of his way 1870 x4480 to turn 7725 z8800 from x4480 it; if he do not x3808 turn 7725 z8804 from his way, 1870 x4480 he x1931 shall die 4191 z8799 in his iniquity; 5771 but thou x859 hast delivered 5337 z8689 thy soul. 5315

 33:10 Therefore, O thou x859 son 1121 of man, 120 speak 559 z8798 unto x413 the house 1004 of Israel; 3478 Thus x3651 ye speak, 559 z8804 saying, 559 z8800 If x3588 our transgressions 6588 and our sins 2403 [be] upon x5921 us, and we x587 pine away 4743 z8737 in them, how x349 should we then live? 2421 z8799

 33:11 Say 559 z8798 unto x413 them, [As] I x589 live, 2416 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 I have no pleasure 2654 z8799 x518 in the death 4194 of the wicked; 7563 but x3588 x518 that the wicked 7563 turn 7725 z8800 from his way 1870 x4480 and live: 2421 z8804 turn 7725 z8798 ye, turn 7725 z8798 ye from your evil 7451 ways; 1870 x4480 for why x4100 will ye die, 4191 z8799 O house 1004 of Israel? 3478

 33:12 Therefore, thou x859 son 1121 of man, 120 say 559 z8798 unto x413 the children 1121 of thy people, 5971 The righteousness 6666 of the righteous 6662 shall not x3808 deliver 5337 z8686 him in the day 3117 of his transgression: 6588 as for the wickedness 7564 of the wicked, 7563 he shall not x3808 fall 3782 z8735 thereby in the day 3117 that he turneth 7725 z8800 from his wickedness; 7562 x4480 neither x3808 shall the righteous 6662 be able 3201 z8799 to live 2421 z8800 for his [righteousness] in the day 3117 that he sinneth. 2398 z8800

 33:13 When I shall say 559 z8800 to the righteous, 6662 [that] he shall surely y2421 z8800 live; 2421 z8799 if he x1931 trust 982 z8804 to x5921 his own righteousness, 6666 and commit 6213 z8804 iniquity, 5766 all x3605 his righteousnesses 6666 shall not x3808 be remembered; 2142 z8735 but for his iniquity 5766 that x834 he hath committed, 6213 z8804 he shall die 4191 z8799 for it.

 33:14 Again, when I say 559 z8800 unto the wicked, 7563 Thou shalt surely y4191 z8800 die; 4191 z8799 if he turn 7725 z8804 from his sin, 2403 x4480 and do 6213 z8804 that which is lawful 4941 and right; 6666

 33:15 [If] the wicked 7563 restore 7725 z8686 the pledge, 2258 give again 7999 z8762 that he had robbed, 1500 walk 1980 z8804 in the statutes 2708 of life, 2416 without x1115 committing 6213 z8800 iniquity; 5766 he shall surely y2421 z8800 live, 2421 z8799 he shall not x3808 die. 4191 z8799

 33:16 None x3808 x3605 of his sins 2403 that x834 he hath committed 2398 z8804 shall be mentioned 2142 z8735 unto him: he hath done 6213 z8804 that which is lawful 4941 and right; 6666 he shall surely y2421 z8800 live. 2421 z8799

 33:17 ¶ Yet the children 1121 of thy people 5971 say, 559 z8804 The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not equal: 8505 z8735 x3808 but as for them, x1992 their way 1870 is not equal. 8505 z8735 x3808

 33:18 When the righteous 6662 turneth 7725 z8800 from his righteousness, 6666 x4480 and committeth 6213 z8804 iniquity, 5766 he shall even die 4191 z8804 thereby.

 33:19 But if the wicked 7563 turn 7725 z8800 from his wickedness, 7564 x4480 and do 6213 z8804 that which is lawful 4941 and right, 6666 he x1931 shall live 2421 z8799 thereby. x5921

 33:20 ¶ Yet ye say, 559 z8804 The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not equal. 8505 z8735 x3808 O ye house 1004 of Israel, 3478 I will judge 8199 z8799 you every one 376 after his ways. 1870

 33:21 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 in the twelfth 8147 6240 year 8141 of our captivity, 1546 in the tenth 6224 [month], in the fifth 2568 [day] of the month, 2320 [that] one that had escaped 6412 out of Jerusalem 3389 x4480 came 935 z8804 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800 The city 5892 is smitten. 5221 z8717

 33:22 Now the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was x1961 upon x413 me in the evening, 6153 before 6440 he that was escaped 6412 came; 935 z8800 and had opened 6605 z8799 x853 my mouth, 6310 until x5704 he came 935 z8800 to x413 me in the morning; 1242 and my mouth 6310 was opened, 6605 z8735 and I was no more dumb. 481 z8738 x3808 x5750

 33:23 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 33:24 Son 1121 of man, 120 they that inhabit 3427 z8802 those x428 wastes 2723 of x5921 the land 127 of Israel 3478 speak, 559 z8802 saying, 559 z8800 Abraham 85 was x1961 one, 259 and he inherited 3423 z8799 x853 the land: 776 but we x587 [are] many; 7227 the land 776 is given 5414 z8738 us for inheritance. 4181

 33:25 Wherefore x3651 say 559 z8798 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Ye eat 398 z8799 with x5921 the blood, 1818 and lift up 5375 z8799 your eyes 5869 toward x413 your idols, 1544 and shed 8210 z8799 blood: 1818 and shall ye possess 3423 z8799 the land? 776

 33:26 Ye stand 5975 z8804 upon x5921 your sword, 2719 ye work 6213 z8804 abomination, 8441 and ye defile 2930 z8765 every one 376 x853 his neighbor's 7453 wife: 802 and shall ye possess 3423 z8799 the land? 776

 33:27 Say 559 z8799 thou thus x3541 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 [As] I x589 live, 2416 surely x518 x3808 they that x834 [are] in the wastes 2723 shall fall 5307 z8799 by the sword, 2719 and him that x834 [is] in x5921 the open 6440 field 7704 will I give 5414 z8804 to the beasts 2416 to be devoured, 398 z8800 and they that x834 [be] in the forts 4679 and in the caves 4631 shall die 4191 z8799 of the pestilence. 1698

 33:28 For I will lay 5414 z8804 x853 the land 776 most y4923 desolate, 8077 x4923 and the pomp 1347 of her strength 5797 shall cease; 7673 z8738 and the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 shall be desolate, 8074 z8804 that none x4480 x369 shall pass through. 5674 z8802

 33:29 Then shall they know 3045 z8804 that x3588 I x589 [am] the LORD, 3068 when I have laid 5414 z8800 x853 the land 776 most y4923 desolate 8077 x4923 because of x5921 all x3605 their abominations 8441 which x834 they have committed. 6213 z8804

 33:30 ¶ Also, thou x859 son 1121 of man, 120 the children 1121 of thy people 5971 still are talking 1696 z8737 against y681 thee by x681 the walls 7023 and in the doors 6607 of the houses, 1004 and speak 1696 z8765 one 2297 to x854 another, 259 every one 376 to x854 his brother, 251 saying, 559 z8800 Come, 935 z8798 I pray you, x4994 and hear 8085 z8798 what x4100 is the word 1697 that cometh forth 3318 z8802 from x4480 x854 the LORD. 3068

 33:31 And they come 935 z8799 unto x413 thee as the people 5971 cometh, 3996 and they sit 3427 z8799 before 6440 thee [as] my people, 5971 and they hear 8085 z8804 x853 thy words, 1697 but they will not x3808 do 6213 z8799 them: for x3588 with their mouth 6310 they x1992 show 6213 z8802 much love, 5690 [but] their heart 3820 goeth 1980 z8802 after 310 their covetousness. 1215

 33:32 And, lo, x2009 thou [art] unto them as a very lovely 5690 song 7892 of one that hath a pleasant 3303 voice, 6963 and can play well y2895 z8688 on an instrument: 5059 z8763 x3190 for they hear 8085 z8804 x853 thy words, 1697 but they do 6213 z8802 them not. x369

 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, 935 z8800 (lo, x2009 it will come,) 935 z8802 then shall they know 3045 z8804 that x3588 a prophet 5030 hath been x1961 among 8432 them.
