WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.880 Chapter 33 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the 00:07.880 --> 00:12.840 children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, 00:13.280 --> 00:17.500 if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their 00:17.500 --> 00:22.260 watchman, if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, 00:22.540 --> 00:26.180 and warn the people, then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, 00:26.680 --> 00:32.160 and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon 00:32.160 --> 00:33.020 his own head. 00:33.640 --> 00:38.120 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning, his blood shall be 00:38.120 --> 00:38.680 upon him. 00:39.280 --> 00:42.260 But he that taketh warning, shall deliver his soul. 00:42.940 --> 00:47.420 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people 00:47.420 --> 00:51.740 be not warned, if the sword come, and take any person from among them, 00:52.120 --> 00:53.920 he is taken away in his iniquity. 00:53.920 --> 00:57.940 But his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 00:58.700 --> 01:02.900 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel. 01:03.720 --> 01:08.580 Therefore, thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 01:09.360 --> 01:13.380 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die. 01:13.860 --> 01:18.540 If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in 01:18.540 --> 01:19.180 his iniquity. 01:19.620 --> 01:22.600 But his blood will I require at thine hand. 01:22.600 --> 01:29.100 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way, to turn from it, if he do not 01:29.100 --> 01:32.080 turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity. 01:32.800 --> 01:34.620 But thou hast delivered thy soul. 01:35.320 --> 01:38.820 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel. 01:39.320 --> 01:43.680 Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, 01:43.900 --> 01:47.100 and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 01:47.720 --> 01:53.280 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of 01:53.280 --> 01:56.920 the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. 01:57.380 --> 02:02.840 Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 02:03.920 --> 02:09.080 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness 02:09.080 --> 02:12.900 of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. 02:13.800 --> 02:18.580 As for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that 02:18.580 --> 02:19.980 he turneth from his wickedness. 02:19.980 --> 02:24.920 Neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that 02:24.920 --> 02:25.460 he sinneth. 02:26.560 --> 02:32.540 When I shall say to the righteous that he shall surely live, if he trust to his own 02:32.540 --> 02:36.680 righteousness and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be 02:36.680 --> 02:37.080 remembered. 02:37.760 --> 02:41.620 But for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 02:42.080 --> 02:47.480 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, if he turn from his 02:47.480 --> 02:50.240 sin and do that which is lawful and right. 02:50.800 --> 02:54.860 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, 02:55.220 --> 03:00.240 walk in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live. 03:00.580 --> 03:01.780 He shall not die. 03:02.520 --> 03:06.020 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him. 03:06.600 --> 03:08.980 He hath done that which is lawful and right. 03:09.240 --> 03:10.800 He shall surely live. 03:11.680 --> 03:15.640 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal. 03:15.640 --> 03:18.860 But as for them, their way is not equal. 03:19.620 --> 03:23.400 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness and commiteth iniquity, 03:23.960 --> 03:25.280 he shall even die thereby. 03:25.980 --> 03:29.960 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness and do that which is lawful and right, 03:30.320 --> 03:31.480 he shall live thereby. 03:32.580 --> 03:35.060 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. 03:35.840 --> 03:40.620 O ye house of Israel, I will judge you, every one, after his ways. 03:41.400 --> 03:46.060 And it came to pass, in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, 03:46.580 --> 03:50.580 in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem 03:50.580 --> 03:53.540 came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 03:54.780 --> 03:58.780 Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening afore that he was escaped 03:58.780 --> 04:03.260 came, and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning, 04:03.520 --> 04:06.420 and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. 04:07.300 --> 04:12.120 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, they that inhabit 04:12.120 --> 04:17.960 those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited 04:17.960 --> 04:19.840 the land, but we are many. 04:20.420 --> 04:22.300 The land is given us for inheritance. 04:23.300 --> 04:27.780 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Ye eat with the blood, 04:28.480 --> 04:33.660 and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood, and shall ye possess the 04:33.660 --> 04:33.980 land? 04:34.420 --> 04:35.740 Ye stand upon your sword. 04:36.180 --> 04:40.760 Ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife, and shall ye 04:40.760 --> 04:41.740 possess the land? 04:42.580 --> 04:48.620 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, As I live, surely they that are 04:48.620 --> 04:53.660 in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I 04:53.660 --> 04:55.480 give to the beasts to be devoured. 04:56.380 --> 05:00.400 And they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 05:01.220 --> 05:06.000 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease, 05:06.000 --> 05:10.160 and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. 05:10.860 --> 05:16.120 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate, 05:16.320 --> 05:19.000 because of all their abominations which they have committed. 05:19.660 --> 05:25.160 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by 05:25.160 --> 05:30.340 the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his 05:30.340 --> 05:34.820 brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh 05:34.820 --> 05:35.760 forth from the Lord. 05:36.540 --> 05:41.280 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my 05:41.280 --> 05:46.720 people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them, for with their 05:46.720 --> 05:48.620 mouth they show much love. 05:49.360 --> 05:54.520 But their heart goeth after their covetousness, and lo, thou art unto them 05:54.520 --> 06:00.120 as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an 06:00.120 --> 06:03.940 instrument, for they hear thy words, but they do them not. 06:04.960 --> 06:10.980 And when this cometh to pass, lo, it will come, then shall they know that a 06:10.980 --> 06:12.280 prophet hath been among them.
