And hath not eatenupon the mountains, neitherhathlifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neitherhathdefiled his neighbour’swife, neitherhathcomenear to a menstruouswoman,
And hath not oppressed any, but hathrestored to the debtor his pledge, hathspoilednone by violence, hathgiven his bread to the hungry, and hathcovered the nakedwith a garment;
He thathath not givenforthuponusury, neitherhathtaken any increase, thathathwithdrawn his handfrominiquity, hathexecutedtruejudgmentbetween man and man,
Hathoppressed the poor and needy, hathspoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hathlifted up his eyes to the idols, hathcommittedabomination,
Hathgivenforthuponusury, and hathtakenincrease: shall he thenlive? he shall not live: he hathdone all theseabominations; he shallsurely die; his bloodshall be upon him.
Neitherhathoppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neitherhathspoiled by violence, but hathgiven his bread to the hungry, and hathcovered the nakedwith a garment,
Thathathtaken off his handfrom the poor, thathath not receivedusury nor increase, hathexecuted my judgments, hathwalked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shallsurelylive.
As for his father, because he cruellyoppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did thatwhich is not goodamong his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hathdonethatwhich is lawful and right, and hathkept all my statutes, and hathdonethem, he shallsurelylive.
The soulthatsinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neithershall the fatherbear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteousshall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wickedshall be upon him.
But if the wickedwillturnfrom all his sinsthat he hathcommitted, and keep all my statutes, and do thatwhich is lawful and right, he shallsurelylive, he shall not die.
But when the righteousturnethawayfrom his righteousness, and committethiniquity, and doethaccording to all the abominationsthat the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousnessthat he hathdoneshall not be mentioned: in his trespassthat he hathtrespassed, and in his sin that he hathsinned, in themshall he die.
Therefore I willjudge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turnyourselvesfrom all yourtransgressions; so iniquityshall not be yourruin.
Castawayfrom you all yourtransgressions, whereby ye havetransgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
