Thematic Bible: Those that turn from righteousness


Thematic Bible



Say to them, I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if I shall delight in the death of the unjust; but in the turning back of the unjust one from his way, and he lived: turn back, turn back from your evil ways: and wherefore will ye die, O house of Israel? And thou, son of man, say to the sons of my people, The justice of the just shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: and the injustice of the unjust, he shall not stumble in it in the day of his turning back from his injustice; and the just shall not be able to live in the day of his sinning. In my saying to the just, living, he shall live; and he trusted upon his justice, and he did evil, all his justice shall not be remembered; and in his iniquity which he did he shall die in it read more.
And in my saying to the unjust, Dying, thou shalt die; and he turned back from his sinning and he did judgment and justice; The unjust shall turn back the pledge he shall restore the spoil, going in the laws of the living not to do evil; living, he shall live, he shall not die. All his sins which he sinned shall not be remembered to him: he did judgment and justice; living, he shall live. And the sons of my people said, The way of Jehovah will not make even: and they their way shall not make even. In the turning back of the just from his justice and doing iniquity, he shall die in them. And in the turning back of the unjust from his injustice and doing judgment and justice upon them, he shall live. And ye said, The way of Jehovah will not make even. I will judge you each according to his ways, O house of Israel.

And in the just turning back from his justice and doing evil, and I gave a stumbling-block before his face, he shall die: for thou didst not admonish him, in his sins he shall die, and his justice shall not be remembered which he did; and his blood will I seek from thy hand. And if thou admonishedst the just for the just not to sin, and he sin not, living, he shall live, for he was admonished; and thou didst deliver thy soul.

And in the just turning back from his justice, and doing iniquity according to all the abominations which the unjust one did, will he do and live? all his justices which he did shall not be remembered: in his transgression which he transgressed and in his sins which he sinned, in them he shall die. And ye said, The way of Jehovah will not make even. Hear ye now, O house of Israel; shall not my way make even? shall not your ways make hot even? In the turning back of the just one from his justice, and doing iniquity and dying in them; in his iniquity which he did he shall die.
