King James Version
1. The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2. "What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge’? 3. " As I live," says the Lord GOD, "you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel. 4. "Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die. 5. But if a man is just And does what is lawful and right; 6. If he has not eaten on the mountains, Nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, Nor approached a woman during her impurity; 7. If he has not oppressed anyone, But has restored to the debtor his pledge; Has robbed no one by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing; 8. If he has not exacted usury Nor taken any increase, But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity And executed true judgment between man and man; 9. If he has walked in My statutes And kept My judgments faithfully––He is just; He shall surely live!" Says the Lord GOD. 10. "If he begets a son who is a robber Or a shedder of blood, Who does any of these things 11. And does none of those duties , But has eaten on the mountains Or defiled his neighbor’s wife; 12. If he has oppressed the poor and needy, Robbed by violence, Not restored the pledge, Lifted his eyes to the idols, Or committed abomination; 13. If he has exacted usury Or taken increase––Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him. 14. " If , however, he begets a son Who sees all the sins which his father has done, And considers but does not do likewise; 15. Who has not eaten on the mountains, Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife; 16. Has not oppressed anyone, Nor withheld a pledge, Nor robbed by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing; 17. Who has withdrawn his hand from the poor And not received usury or increase, But has executed My judgments And walked in My statutes––He shall not die for the iniquity of his father; He shall surely live! 18. " As for his father, Because he cruelly oppressed, Robbed his brother by violence, And did what is not good among his people, Behold, he shall die for his iniquity. 19. "Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. 20. "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. 21. "But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22. "None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23. "Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord GOD, " and not that he should turn from his ways and live? 24. "But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die. 25. "Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair? 26. "When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies. 27. "Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive. 28. "Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29. "Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair? 30. "Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways," says the Lord GOD. "Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31. "Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32. "For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord GOD. "Therefore turn and live!"
1. "Moreover take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 2. "and say: ‘What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; Among the young lions she nourished her cubs. 3. She brought up one of her cubs, And he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, And he devoured men. 4. The nations also heard of him; He was trapped in their pit, And they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt. 5. ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion. 6. He roved among the lions, And became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men. 7. He knew their desolate places, And laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated By the noise of his roaring. 8. Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, And spread their net over him; He was trapped in their pit. 9. They put him in a cage with chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel. 10. ‘Your mother was like a vine in your bloodline, Planted by the waters, Fruitful and full of branches Because of many waters. 11. She had strong branches for scepters of rulers. She towered in stature above the thick branches, And was seen in her height amid the dense foliage. 12. But she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; The fire consumed them. 13. And now she is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land. 14. Fire has come out from a rod of her branches And devoured her fruit, So that she has no strong branch––a scepter for ruling.’" This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
1. "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2. "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so , I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4. "And where I go you know, and the way you know." 5. Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" 6. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." 8. Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9. Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10. "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority ; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11. "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. 12. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it . 15. "If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16. "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever–– 17. "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18. "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19. "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20. "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21. "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." 22. Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23. Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. 25. "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26. "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28. "You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. 29. "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30. "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31. "But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
