  33:1 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
33:1 ¶
Again the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
33:2
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and thou shalt say to them, On whatsoever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman: |
|
33:2
Son°
of man,°
speak°°
to°
the children°
of thy people,°
and say°°
unto°
them, When°
I bring°°
the sword°
upon°
a land,°
if the people°
of the land°
take°°
a°
man°
of their coasts,°°
and set°°
him for their watchman:°° |
|
33:3
and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people; |
|
33:3
If when he seeth°°°
the sword°
come°°
upon°
the land,°
he blow°°
the trumpet,°
and warn°°°
the people;° |
|
33:4
and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head. |
|
33:4
Then whosoever°°
heareth°°°
the sound°
of the trumpet,°
and taketh not warning;°°°
if the sword°
come,°°
and take him away,°°
his blood°
shall be°
upon his own head.° |
|
33:5
Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul. |
|
33:5
He heard°°°
the sound°
of the trumpet,°
and took not warning;°°°
his blood°
shall be°
upon him. But he°
that taketh warning°°
shall deliver°°
his soul.° |
|
33:6
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand. |
|
33:6
But if°
the watchman°°
see°°°
the sword°
come,°°
and blow°°
not°
the trumpet,°
and the people°
be not°
warned;°°
if the sword°
come,°°
and take°°
[any] person°
from among°
them, he°
is taken away°°
in his iniquity;°
but his blood°
will I require°°
at the watchman's°°
hand.°° |
|
33:7 ¶
And thou, son of man, I have set thee [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear a word from my mouth. |
|
33:7 ¶
So thou,°
O son°
of man,°
I have set°°
thee a watchman°°
unto the house°
of Israel;°
therefore thou shalt hear°°
the word°
at my mouth,°°
and warn°°
them from°
me. |
|
33:8
When I say to the sinner, Thou shalt surely die; [if] thou speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. |
|
33:8
When I say°°
unto the wicked,°
O wicked°
[man], thou shalt surely°°
die;°°
if thou dost not°
speak°°
to warn°°
the wicked°
from his way,°°
that°
wicked°
[man] shall die°°
in his iniquity;°
but his blood°
will I require°°
at thine hand.°° |
|
33:9
But if thou forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but thou hast delivered thine own soul. |
|
33:9
Nevertheless, if°
thou°
warn°°
the wicked°
of his way°°
to turn°°
from°
it; if he do not°
turn°°
from his way,°°
he°
shall die°°
in his iniquity;°
but thou°
hast delivered°°
thy soul.° |
|
33:10
And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have ye spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live? |
|
33:10
Therefore, O thou°
son°
of man,°
speak°°
unto°
the house°
of Israel;°
Thus°
ye speak,°°
saying,°°
If°
our transgressions°
and our sins°
[be] upon°
us, and we°
pine away°°
in them, how°
should we then live?°° |
|
33:11
Say to them, Thus saith the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn ye heartily from your way; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
|
33:11
Say°°
unto°
them, [As] I°
live,°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh,°
I have no pleasure°°°
in the death°
of the wicked;°
but°°
that the wicked°
turn°°
from his way°°
and live:°°
turn°°
ye, turn°°
ye from your evil°
ways;°°
for why°
will ye die,°°
O house°
of Israel?° |
|
33:12
Say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself. |
|
33:12
Therefore, thou°
son°
of man,°
say°°
unto°
the children°
of thy people,°
The righteousness°
of the righteous°
shall not°
deliver°°
him in the day°
of his transgression:°
as for the wickedness°
of the wicked,°
he shall not°
fall°°
thereby in the day°
that he turneth°°
from his wickedness;°°
neither°
shall the righteous°
be able°°
to live°°
for his [righteousness] in the day°
that he sinneth.°° |
|
33:13
When I say to the righteous, [Thou shalt live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die. |
|
33:13
When I shall say°°
to the righteous,°
[that] he shall surely°°
live;°°
if he°
trust°°
to°
his own righteousness,°
and commit°°
iniquity,°
all°
his righteousnesses°
shall not°
be remembered;°°
but for his iniquity°
that°
he hath committed,°°
he shall die°°
for it. |
|
33:14
And when I say to the ungodly, Thou shalt surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgment and justice, |
|
33:14
Again, when I say°°
unto the wicked,°
Thou shalt surely°°
die;°°
if he turn°°
from his sin,°°
and do°°
that which is lawful°
and right;° |
|
33:15
and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die. |
|
33:15
[If] the wicked°
restore°°
the pledge,°
give again°°
that he had robbed,°
walk°°
in the statutes°
of life,°
without°
committing°°
iniquity;°
he shall surely°°
live,°°
he shall not°
die.°° |
|
33:16
None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgment and righteousness; by them shall he live. |
|
33:16
None°°
of his sins°
that°
he hath committed°°
shall be mentioned°°
unto him: he hath done°°
that which is lawful°
and right;°
he shall surely°°
live.°° |
|
33:17 ¶
Yet the children of thy people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight. |
|
33:17 ¶
Yet the children°
of thy people°
say,°°
The way°
of Yahweh°
is not equal:°°°
but as for them,°
their way°
is not equal.°°° |
|
33:18
When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them. |
|
33:18
When the righteous°
turneth°°
from his righteousness,°°
and committeth°°
iniquity,°
he shall even die°°
thereby. |
|
33:19
And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgment and righteousness, he shall live by them. |
|
33:19
But if the wicked°
turn°°
from his wickedness,°°
and do°°
that which is lawful°
and right,°
he°
shall live°°
thereby.° |
|
33:20 ¶
And this is that which ye said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways. |
|
33:20 ¶
Yet ye say,°°
The way°
of Yahweh°
is not equal.°°°
O ye house°
of Israel,°
I will judge°°
you every one°
after his ways.° |
|
33:21 ¶
And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken. |
|
33:21 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the twelfth°°
year°
of our captivity,°
in the tenth°
[month], in the fifth°
[day] of the month,°
[that] one that had escaped°
out of Jerusalem°°
came°°
unto°
me, saying,°°
The city°
is smitten.°° |
|
33:22
Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed. |
|
33:22
Now the hand°
of Yahweh°
was°
upon°
me in the evening,°
afore°
he that was escaped°
came;°°
and had opened°°°
my mouth,°
until°
he came°°
to°
me in the morning;°
and my mouth°
was opened,°°
and I was no more dumb.°°°° |
|
33:23
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
33:23
Then the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
33:24
Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession. |
|
33:24
Son°
of man,°
they that inhabit°°
those°
wastes°
of°
the land°
of Israel°
speak,°°
saying,°°
Abraham°
was°
one,°
and he inherited°°°
the land:°
but we°
[are] many;°
the land°
is given°°
us for inheritance.° |

Wherefore°
say°°
unto°
them, Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
Ye eat°°
with°
the blood,°
and lift up°°
your eyes°
toward°
your idols,°
and shed°°
blood:°
and shall ye possess°°
the land?° |
|
33:26
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
33:26
Ye stand°°
upon°
your sword,°
ye work°°
abomination,°
and ye defile°°
every one°°
his neighbour's°
wife:°
and shall ye possess°°
the land?° |
|
33:27
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will slay with pestilence. |
|
33:27
Say°°
thou thus°
unto°
them, Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
[As] I°
live,°
surely°°
they that°
[are] in the wastes°
shall fall°°
by the sword,°
and him that°
[is] in°
the open°
field°
will I give°°
to the beasts°
to be devoured,°°
and they that°
[be] in the forts°
and in the caves°
shall die°°
of the pestilence.° |
|
33:28
And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through. |
|
33:28
For I will lay°°°
the land°
most°
desolate,°°
and the pomp°
of her strength°
shall cease;°°
and the mountains°
of Israel°
shall be desolate,°°
that none°°
shall pass through.°° |
|
33:29
And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought. |
|
33:29
Then shall they know°°
that°
I°
[am] Yahweh,°
when I have laid°°°
the land°
most°
desolate°°
because of°
all°
their abominations°
which°
they have committed.°° |
|
33:30 ¶
And [as for] thee, son of man, the children of thy people are they that speak concerning thee by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord. |
|
33:30 ¶
Also, thou°
son°
of man,°
the children°
of thy people°
still are talking°°
against°
thee by°
the walls°
and in the doors°
of the houses,°
and speak°°
one°
to°
another,°
every one°
to°
his brother,°
saying,°°
Come,°°
I pray you,°
and hear°°
what°
is the word°
that cometh forth°°
from°°
Yahweh.° |
|
33:31
They approach thee as a people comes together, and sit before thee, and hear thy words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions. |
|
33:31
And they come°°
unto°
thee as the people°
cometh,°
and they sit°°
before°
thee [as] my people,°
and they hear°°°
thy words,°
but they will not°
do°°
them: for°
with their mouth°
they°
shew°°
much love,°
[but] their heart°
goeth°°
after°
their covetousness.° |
|
33:32
And thou art to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned psaltery, and they will hear thy words, but they will not do them. |
|
33:32
And, lo,°
thou [art] unto them as a very lovely°
song°
of one that hath a pleasant°
voice,°
and can play well°°
on an instrument:°°°
for they hear°°°
thy words,°
but they do°°
them not.° |
|
33:33
But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them. |
|
33:33
And when this cometh to pass,°°
(lo,°
it will come,)°°
then shall they know°°
that°
a prophet°
hath been°
among°
them. |
