And I will cause many peoples to be awestruck over you, and their kings will shudder over you in horror, at my brandishing my sword before their faces, and they will tremble continually, each person for his life, on the day of your downfall."

The chiefs of the warriors will speak to him from the middle of Sheol; with his helpers they have gone down; the uncircumcised lie still, those slain by the sword.

Pharaoh will see them, and he will be comforted over all of his hordes killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all of his army," declares the Lord Yahweh.

"For he spread my terror in the land of the living, and so he will be laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised with those killed by the sword: Pharaoh and all of his hordes,"declares the Lord Yahweh.

and anyone who listens hears the sound of the horn and he does not take warning and the sword comes and it takes him, his blood will be on his own head.

For he heard the sound of the horn and he did not take warning; his blood will be on him. But if he took warning, he saved his life.

And as for the watchman, if he sees the sword coming and he does not blow the horn, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and it takes their lives, he will be taken through his guilt, but his blood from the hand of the watchman I will seek.'

When I say to the wicked, ‘Wicked one, you will certainly die,' and you did not speak to warn the wicked from his way, he, the wicked, will die by his guilt, but his blood I will seek from your hand.

But, you, if you warn the wicked from his way, to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he will die by his guilt, and you will have saved your life.

Say to them, ‘As I live,' declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘Surely I have no delight in the death of the wicked, except in the wicked returning from his way, and he lives. Turn back! Turn back from your ways, O evil ones, for why should you die, house of Israel?'

"So you, son of man, say to your people that the righteousness of the righteous shall not save him in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble on the day of his returning from his wickedness; and the righteous will not be able to live by it on the day when he returns to his sin.

When I say to the righteous, ‘Certainly he will live,' and he trusted in his righteousness, and he turns and he does injustice, all of his righteousness will not be remembered, and because of his injustice that he did, because of it he will die.

And when I say to the wicked, ‘Certainly you will die,' but he returns from his sin and he does justice and righteousness—

All of his sins that he committed, they will not be remembered against him, and he did justice and righteousness; certainly he will live.

When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, then he will die because of it.

And when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and he does justice and righteousness, because of it he will certainly live!

Yet you said, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!' I will judge you, house of Israel, each person according to his ways."

You rely on your sword, you do a detestable thing, and each man defiles the wife of his neighbor, and yet you want to take possession of the land?"'

"And you, son of man, your people, the ones talking together concerning you beside the walls and in the doorways of the houses, each one with his brother saying, ‘Please come and hear what is the word that is going out from Yahweh.'

just like the caring of a shepherd for his herd on the day when he is in the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will look after my flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on the day of storm and stress.
