Chapter 18.

00:02.960 --> 00:09.040
The word of the Lord came unto me again,
saying, What mean ye, that ye use this

00:09.040 --> 00:12.860
proverb concerning the land of Israel,
saying, The fathers have eaten sour

00:12.860 --> 00:15.520
grapes, and the children's teeth are set
on edge?

00:16.200 --> 00:21.320
As I live, saith the Lord God,
ye shall not have occasion any more to use

00:21.320 --> 00:22.540
this proverb in Israel.

00:23.220 --> 00:25.460
Behold, all souls are mine.

00:25.900 --> 00:29.980
As the soul of the father, so also the
soul of the son is mine.

00:30.480 --> 00:32.980
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

00:34.100 --> 00:39.400
But if a man be just, and do that which is
lawful and right, and hath not eaten upon

00:39.400 --> 00:44.560
the mountains, neither hath lifted up his
eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,

00:45.080 --> 00:49.960
neither hath defiled his neighbor's wife,
neither hath come near to a menstruous

00:49.960 --> 00:54.560
woman, and hath not oppressed any,
but hath restored to the debtor his

00:54.560 --> 00:59.480
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence,
hath given his bread to the hungry,

00:59.980 --> 01:05.080
and hath covered the naked with a garment,
he that hath not given forth upon usury,

01:05.700 --> 01:09.720
neither hath taken any increase,
that hath withdrawn his hand from

01:09.720 --> 01:15.040
iniquity, hath executed true judgment
between man and man, hath walked in my

01:15.040 --> 01:21.240
statutes, and hath kept my judgments,
to deal truly, he is just, he shall surely

01:21.240 --> 01:22.980
live, saith the Lord God.

01:23.940 --> 01:28.580
If he beget a son that is a robber,
a shedder of blood, and that doeth the

01:28.580 --> 01:33.980
like to any one of these things,
and that doeth not any of those duties,

01:34.440 --> 01:38.380
but even hath eaten upon the mountains,
and defiled his neighbor's wife,

01:38.980 --> 01:43.320
hath oppressed the poor and needy,
hath spoiled by violence, hath not

01:43.320 --> 01:48.280
restored the pledge, and hath lifted up
his eyes to the idols, hath committed

01:48.280 --> 01:54.500
abomination, hath given forth upon usury,
and hath taken increase, shall he then

01:54.500 --> 01:54.800
live?

01:55.300 --> 01:56.620
He shall not live.

01:57.300 --> 02:02.540
He hath done all these abominations,
he shall surely die, his blood shall be

02:02.540 --> 02:03.120
upon him.

02:03.580 --> 02:08.400
Now, lo, if he beget a son that seeth all
his father's sins which he hath done,

02:08.700 --> 02:14.420
and considereth, and doeth not such like,
that hath not eaten upon the mountains,

02:14.960 --> 02:19.280
neither hath lifted up his eyes to the
idols of the house of Israel, hath not

02:19.280 --> 02:24.320
defiled his neighbor's wife, neither hath
oppressed any, hath not withholden the

02:24.320 --> 02:29.740
pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence,
but hath given his bread to the hungry,

02:30.120 --> 02:35.040
and hath covered the naked with a garment,
that hath taken off his hand from the

02:35.040 --> 02:40.960
poor, that hath not received usury,
nor increase, hath executed my judgments,

02:41.860 --> 02:43.500
hath walked in my statutes.

02:44.220 --> 02:47.920
He shall not die for the iniquity of his
father, he shall surely live.

02:48.700 --> 02:53.220
As for his father, because he cruelly
oppressed, spoiled his brother by

02:53.220 --> 03:00.020
violence, and did that which is not good
among his people, lo, even he shall die in

03:00.020 --> 03:00.640
his iniquity.

03:01.820 --> 03:06.260
Yet say ye, Why, doth not the son bear the
iniquity of the father?

03:06.960 --> 03:11.520
When the son hath done that which is
lawful and right, and hath kept all my

03:11.520 --> 03:15.140
statutes, and hath done them, he shall
surely live.

03:15.700 --> 03:18.020
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

03:18.620 --> 03:23.180
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the
father, neither shall the father bear the

03:23.180 --> 03:24.100
iniquity of the son.

03:24.540 --> 03:28.940
The righteousness of the righteous shall
be upon him, and the wickedness of the

03:28.940 --> 03:30.440
wicked shall be upon him.

03:31.240 --> 03:36.340
But if the wicked will turn from all his
sins that he hath committed, and keep all

03:36.340 --> 03:40.640
my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall surely live,

03:40.960 --> 03:42.140
he shall not die.

03:42.900 --> 03:46.960
All his transgressions that he hath
committed, they shall not be mentioned

03:46.960 --> 03:47.620
unto him.

03:47.740 --> 03:51.180
In his righteousness that he hath done,
he shall live.

03:52.560 --> 03:57.120
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked
should die, saith the Lord God,

03:57.680 --> 04:00.540
and not that he should return from his
ways and live?

04:01.460 --> 04:05.600
But when the righteous turneth away from
his righteousness, and committeth

04:05.600 --> 04:10.140
iniquity, and doeth according to all the
abominations that the wicked man doeth,

04:10.620 --> 04:11.440
shall he live?

04:12.260 --> 04:16.520
All his righteousness that he hath done
shall not be mentioned in his trespass

04:16.520 --> 04:20.440
that he hath trespassed, and in his sin
that he hath sinned.

04:20.940 --> 04:22.760
In them shall he die.

04:24.100 --> 04:26.940
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not
equal.

04:27.840 --> 04:31.400
Hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way
equal?

04:31.960 --> 04:33.860
Are not your ways unequal?

04:34.560 --> 04:38.640
When a righteous man turneth away from his
righteousness, and committeth iniquity,

04:39.060 --> 04:44.220
and dieth in them, for his iniquity that
he hath done, shall he die.

04:44.980 --> 04:49.380
Again, when the wicked man turneth away
from his wickedness that he hath

04:49.380 --> 04:54.860
committed, and doeth that which is lawful
and right, he shall save his soul alive,

04:55.460 --> 04:59.620
because he considereth, and turneth away
from all his transgressions that he hath

04:59.620 --> 04:59.980
committed.

05:00.560 --> 05:01.620
He shall surely live.

05:01.900 --> 05:03.100
He shall not die.

05:04.260 --> 05:08.240
Yet saith the house of Israel,
The way of the Lord is not equal.

05:09.080 --> 05:12.500
O house of Israel, Are not my ways equal?

05:12.860 --> 05:14.720
Are not your ways unequal?

05:15.520 --> 05:20.180
Therefore I will judge you, O house of
Israel, every one according to his ways,

05:20.600 --> 05:21.560
saith the Lord God.

05:22.140 --> 05:27.340
Repent, and turn yourselves from all your
transgressions, so iniquity shall not be

05:27.340 --> 05:27.860
your ruin.

05:29.000 --> 05:32.620
Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby ye have

05:32.620 --> 05:37.020
transgressed, and make you a new heart and
a new spirit.

05:37.520 --> 05:39.620
For why will ye die, O house of Israel?

05:40.040 --> 05:43.900
For I have no pleasure in the death of him
that dieth, saith the Lord God.

05:44.820 --> 05:48.480
Wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
