RF EZE 33:1 A Warning to Israel.
The command of the EVER-LIVING came again to me to say:—
RF EZE 33:2 "Son of Adam, speak to the children of your people and say to them, 'When I bring a sword against a country, and take a man of that country to its borders, and appoint him as a watchman for them,
RF EZE 33:3 and he sees the sword coming to the country, and he blows his trumpet, and arouses the People,—
RF EZE 33:4 whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, but the sword approaches and seizes him,—his blood will be upon his own head.
RF EZE 33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and did not take warning,—his blood will be on himself, since he had been warned to protect his life.
RF EZE 33:6 "But if when the watchman saw the sword advancing, he did not sound the trumpet, nor warned the people, and the sword came, and took a person from them, he will have been taken by his fault, and I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
RF EZE 33:7 "And you, Son of Adam,—I have appointed you as a watchman for the House of Israel:—therefore listen to the command from My mouth, and warn them by it.
RF EZE 33:8 If I say to the wicked that he shall die for his wickedness, and you do not speak to warn the sinner from his wicked way, he will die by his sin,—but I will seek his blood on your hand.
RF EZE 33:9 But when you warn the wicked to turn from his way,—and he does not turn from his course,—he will die for his sin,—but you will have delivered your soul.
RF EZE 33:10 "So now, Son of Adam, speak to the House of Israel, address them who say:—
"'Because our sins and offences are upon us, we waste away by them,—and there is no revival!'
RF EZE 33:11 "Say to them, 'By My life,' says the Mighty Lord, 'I do not delight in the death of the wicked;—but wish the wicked to turn from his course and be revived. Turn! Turn! from your bad course! Why will you kill yourselves, House of Israel?'
RF EZE 33:12 "Therefore you, Son of Adam, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the good will not rescue him at the time when he sins;—and the wickedness of the wicked will not weigh against him when he turns from his wickedness:—nor the righteous be able to live by it when he sins!'
RF EZE 33:13 "When I tell the righteous that he shall live, and he relies in that righteousness, and does wrong, all his righteousness will not be remembered, but for the wrong he has done he will die by it.
RF EZE 33:14 "But when I tell the wicked he shall die,—and he abandons his offences, and practices justice and right,—
RF EZE 33:15 if the wicked restores the pledge;—returns the theft;—follows the rules of life—ceases to do wrong;—then he shall live, he shall not die.
RF EZE 33:16 All the offences by which he had offended will not be remembered against him. He practices justice and right,—he will live.
RF EZE 33:17 "But the children of your people say, 'The path of the Almighty is not straight!' Your path, however, is not straight.
RF EZE 33:18 By the righteous turning from his righteousness and practicing evil,—he then dies by it.
RF EZE 33:19 And by the wicked turning from his wickedness, and practicing justice and righteousness,—he is revived by them.
RF EZE 33:20 Yet you say, 'The path of the ALMIGHTY is not straight!' House of Israel, I will sentence every one of you by his own courses!"
RF EZE 33:21 The fall of Jerusalem and a message upon the news.
It was in the twelfth year, on the tenth of the fifth month, of our transportation, a refugee from Jerusalem came to me to say: "The city has been assaulted!"
RF EZE 33:22 But the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening before the refugee came, and He had opened my mouth when he came to me in the morning, and I could speak, being no longer dumb,
RF EZE 33:23 So the command of the EVER-LIVING came to me to say:
RF EZE 33:24 "Son of Adam! The inhabitants of the ash-heaps in the land of Israel exclaim, and say: 'Abraham was an individual, yet possessed the country;—and we are many. Give us the possession of the country.'
RF EZE 33:25 Therefore tell them, 'Thus says the Mighty Lord: Because of the blood you eat, and the raising of your eyes to idols, and the blood you have shed,—ought you to possess the country?
RF EZE 33:26 You stand on your ruins practicing depravities,—and each corrupts the wife of his neighbour!—yet you would possess the country? '
RF EZE 33:27 "Tell them this, 'Thus says the Mighty Lord: By My life, those in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and those in the open field I will give to the beasts for food! and those in forts and caves shall die of disease.
RF EZE 33:28 I will also make the country desolate and waste, and her proud power shall fail, and the hills of Israel be a desert without a passenger.
RF EZE 33:29 Then they will learn that I am the EVER-LIVING when I make the country desolate and waste, because of all the depravities they practice.'
RF EZE 33:30 "And you, Son of Adam,—the children of your People make a talk about you in the shadow of the walls, and at the doors of their houses, and they say one to another, each to his friend, 'Let us go now and listen what message has come from the EVER-LIVING.'
RF EZE 33:31 But they only come to you as a gathering crowd, and sit before you as a mob, and listen to your speech; bat they do not practice it,—for they flatter with their mouth, but their hearts follow villany!
RF EZE 33:32 And you are like a love-song to them, beautiful in sound, and cheering in tone, so they listen to your words;—but they do not practice them;—
RF EZE 33:33 but when that comes which will come,—they will acknowledge that a Prophet has come amongst them!"
