Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:1 - And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:2 - What mean ye, ye who use this proverb of the land of Israel, saying, The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:3 - As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:4 - Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:5 - And if a man be righteous, and do judgment and justice:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:6 - -- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:7 - and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:8 - he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:9 - hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:10 - And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these things,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:11 - and that doeth not any of those duties, but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:12 - hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:13 - given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:14 - But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:15 - -- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:16 - and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:17 - he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, and walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:18 - As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:19 - And ye say, Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done judgment and justice, hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them; he shall certainly live.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:20 - The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:21 - And the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:22 - None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:23 - Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:24 - And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:25 - And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:26 - When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:27 - And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall keep his soul alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:28 - Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:29 - But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:30 - Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:31 - Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, house of Israel?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 18:32 - For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
