माय १९थ, २०१०

23 * Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, saith the Lord God? And not that he should returne from his wayes, and liue?
24 ¶ But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousnes, & comitteth iniquitie, and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doth, shall he liue? all his righteousnesse that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: in his trespasse that he hath trespassed, and in his sinne that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25 ¶ Yet yee say; * The way of the Lord is not equall. Heare now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equall? are not your wayes vnequall?
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousnesse, & committeth iniquitie, and dieth in them; for his iniquitie that he hath done, shall he die.
27 Againe, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickednesse that he hath committed, and doth that which is lawfull and right, he shall saue his soule aliue.
28 Because he considereth and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely liue, he shall not die.
29 Ye saith the house of Israel; The way of the Lord is not equall. O house of Israel, are not my wayes equall? are not your wayes vnequall?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, euery one according to his wayes, saith the Lord God; *repent, and turne || your selues from all your transgressions : so iniquitie shall not be your ruine.
31 ¶ Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby yee haue transgressed, and make you a * new heart and a new spirit : for why will yee die, O house of Israel?
32 For * I haue no pleasure in y death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God : wherefore turne || your selues, & liue ye.
