10 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, - and for them, we are melting away How then can we live? 11 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live,- Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel? 12 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people - The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness,- Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin. 13 When I say of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed - thereby, shall he die. 14 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness: 15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. He shall surely live he shall not die: - 16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, - Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live. 17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal! 18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them; 19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
