Ezekiel
33-36
Eze
33:1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell
them, When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land
take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;
Eze
33:3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the
trumpet, and warn the people;
Eze
33:4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take
warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on
his own head.
Eze
33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his
blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have
delivered his soul.
Eze
33:6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the
trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take
any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his
blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Eze
33:7 So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of
Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning
from me.
Eze
33:8 When I tell the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and
you don't speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man
shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.
Eze
33:9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from
it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity,
but you have delivered your soul.
Eze
33:10 You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: Thus you speak,
saying, Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away
in them; how then can we live?
Eze
33:11 Tell them, As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure
in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and
live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die,
house of Israel?
Eze
33:12 You, son of man, tell the children of your people, The
righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of
his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall
not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness;
neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day
that he sins.
Eze
33:13 When I tell the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he
trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his
righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he has
committed, therein shall he die.
Eze
33:14 Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he
turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
Eze
33:15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had
taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no
iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze
33:16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered
against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall
surely live.
Eze
33:17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is
not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
Eze
33:18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits
iniquity, he shall even die therein.
Eze
33:19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which
is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Eze
33:20 Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. House of
Israel, I will judge you everyone after his ways.
Eze
33:21 It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth
month, in
the fifth day
of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me,
saying, The city has been struck.
Eze
33:22 Now the hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening, before
he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to
me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
Eze
33:23 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
33:24 Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of
Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but
we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
Eze
33:25 Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You eat with
the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and
shall you possess the land?
Eze
33:26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and you defile
everyone his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?
Eze
33:27 You shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: As I live,
surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and
him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be
devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall
die of the pestilence.
Eze
33:28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the
pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be
desolate, so that none shall pass through.
Eze
33:29 Then shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the
land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their
abominations which they have committed.
Eze
33:30 As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of
you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to
another, everyone to his brother, saying, Please come and hear what
is the word that comes forth from Yahweh.
Eze
33:31 They come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you
as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with
their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their
gain.
Eze
33:32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a
pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear
your words, but they don't do them.
Eze
33:33 When this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then shall they
know that a prophet has been among them.
Eze
34:1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy,
and tell them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe
to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn't the
shepherds feed the sheep?
Eze
34:3 You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill the
fatlings; but you don't feed the sheep.
Eze
34:4 You haven't strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed
that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken,
neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither
have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor
have you ruled over them.
Eze
34:5 They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they
became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
Eze
34:6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high
hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth;
and there was none who searched or sought.
Eze
34:7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
Eze
34:8 As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely because my sheep became
a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field,
because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my
sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep;
Eze
34:9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
Eze
34:10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds;
and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease
from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves
any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may
not be food for them.
Eze
34:11 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will
search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
Eze
34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among
his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and
I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered
in the cloudy and dark day.
Eze
34:13 I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from
the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will
feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all
the inhabited places of the country.
Eze
34:14 I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of
the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down
in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains
of Israel.
Eze
34:15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause
them to lie down, says the Lord Yahweh.
Eze
34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that
which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and
will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I
will destroy; I will feed them in justice.
Eze
34:17 As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I
judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
Eze
34:18 Seems it a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture,
but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture?
and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue
with your feet?
Eze
34:19 As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with
your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
Eze
34:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: Behold, I, even
I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Eze
34:21 Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all
the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;
Eze
34:22 therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a
prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
Eze
34:23 I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them,
even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their
shepherd.
Eze
34:24 I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince
among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
Eze
34:25 I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil
animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in
the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Eze
34:26 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and
I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be
showers of blessing.
Eze
34:27 The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth
shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and
they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of
their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made
slaves of them.
Eze
34:28 They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the
animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and
none shall make them afraid.
Eze
34:29 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they
shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the
shame of the nations any more.
Eze
34:30 They shall know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and
that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.
Eze
34:31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your
God, says the Lord Yahweh.
Eze
35:1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
35:2 Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy
against it,
Eze
35:3 and tell it, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against
you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I
will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
Eze
35:4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and
you shall know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
35:5 Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over
the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their
calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Eze
35:6 therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will prepare you
to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood,
therefore blood shall pursue you.
Eze
35:7 Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation;
and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who
returns.
Eze
35:8 I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in
your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are
slain with the sword.
Eze
35:9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall
not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
35:10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two
countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Yahweh was
there:
Eze
35:11 therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will do
according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have
shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known
among them, when I shall judge you.
Eze
35:12 You shall know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your insults
which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They
are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
Eze
35:13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and
have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.
Eze
35:14 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When the whole earth rejoices, I
will make you desolate.
Eze
35:15 As you did rejoice over the inheritance of the house of
Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be
desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall
know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
36:1 You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say,
You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yahweh.
Eze
36:2 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the enemy has said against
you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession;
Eze
36:3 therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you
up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of
the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the
evil report of the people;
Eze
36:4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills,
to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to
the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to
the residue of the nations that are all around;
Eze
36:5 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Surely in the fire of my
jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and
against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a
possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to
cast it out for a prey.
Eze
36:6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the
mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys,
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and
in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Eze
36:7 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I have sworn, saying,
Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame.
Eze
36:8 But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your
branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at
hand to come.
Eze
36:9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you
shall be tilled and sown;
Eze
36:10 and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even
all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places
shall be built;
Eze
36:11 and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall
increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after
your former estate, and will do better to
you than at your beginnings: and you
shall know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
36:12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel;
and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and
you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.
Eze
36:13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because they say to you, You land
are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;
Eze
36:14 therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your
nation any more, says the Lord Yahweh;
Eze
36:15 neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations,
neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither
shall you cause your nation to stumble any more, says the Lord
Yahweh.
Eze
36:16 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
36:17 Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land,
they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me
was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
Eze
36:18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which
they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with
their idols;
Eze
36:19 and I scattered them among the nations, and they were
dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according
to their doings I judged them.
Eze
36:20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned
my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of
Yahweh, and are gone forth out of his land.
Eze
36:21 But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel
had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Eze
36:22 Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
I don't do this
for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have
profaned among the nations, where you went.
Eze
36:23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among
the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the
nations shall know that I am Yahweh, says the Lord Yahweh, when I
shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Eze
36:24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out
of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Eze
36:25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse
you.
Eze
36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put
within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Eze
36:27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Eze
36:28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and
you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Eze
36:29 I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for
the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Eze
36:30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the
field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the
nations.
Eze
36:31 Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that
were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for
your iniquities and for your abominations.
Eze
36:32 Nor for your sake do I this,
says the Lord Yahweh, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded
for your ways, house of Israel.
Eze
36:33 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day that I cleanse you from
all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the
waste places shall be built.
Eze
36:34 The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a
desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Eze
36:35 They shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the
garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are
fortified and inhabited.
Eze
36:36 Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I,
Yahweh, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was
desolate: I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.
Eze
36:37 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: For this, moreover, will I be
inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will
increase them with men like a flock.
Eze
36:38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her
appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of
men; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

The

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)
to make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is
the most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel 33 1
The
word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
And
the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
And
there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Ezekiel 33 2
Son
of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, When I
bring the sword on a land,
and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him
for their watchman;
Son
of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When
I bring the
sword
upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them
all, and set
him
for their watchman:
`Son
of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto
them: A
land
-- when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land
have taken
one
man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
Ezekiel 33 3
if,
when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and
warn the people;
if
he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and
warn the people;
And
he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with
a
trumpet,
and hath warned the people,
Ezekiel 33 4
then
whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn`t take warning, if
the sword come, and take
him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
then
whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning,
if the sword
come
and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
And
the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not
taken
warning,
And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his
head.
Ezekiel 33 5
He
heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn`t take warning; his blood
shall be on him; whereas if
he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
He
heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is
upon him: whereas
had
he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
The
voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his
blood is on
him,
And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
Ezekiel 33 6
But
if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn`t blow the trumpet,
and the people aren`t warned,
and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken
away in his iniquity,
but his blood will I require at the watchman`s hand.
But
if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and
the people be
not
warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is
taken away in
his
iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman`s hand.
And
the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not
blown
with
a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a
sword,
And
taketh away of them -- a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And
his blood
from
the hand of the watchman I require.
Ezekiel 33 7
So
you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel;
therefore hear the word at my
mouth, and give them warning from me.
So
thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel; and thou shalt
hear
the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
And
thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And
thou hast
heard
from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
Ezekiel 33 8
When
I tell the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you don`t
speak to warn the wicked
from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his
blood will I require at your
hand.
When
I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and
thou speakest
not
to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his
iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thy hand.
In
My saying to the wicked, O wicked one -- thou dost surely die, And
thou hast
not
spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He -- the wicked -- in his
iniquity
doth
die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
Ezekiel 33 9
Nevertheless,
if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn`t
turn from his way;
he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
But
if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not
turn from his way,
he
shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
And
thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from
it, And
he
hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And
thou thy
soul
hast delivered.
Ezekiel 33 10
You,
son of man, tell the house of Israel: Thus you speak, saying, Our
transgressions and our sins are
on us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?
And
thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak,
saying, Our
transgressions
and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should
we
live?
And
thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have
spoken, saying:
Surely
our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are
wasting
away,
How, then, do we live?
Ezekiel 33 11
Tell
them, As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the
death of the wicked; but that the
wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil
ways; for why will you die,
house of Israel?
Say
unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in
the death of the
wicked;
but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye
from your evil
ways;
for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Say
unto them, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight
not in the
death
of the wicked, But -- in the turning of the wicked from his way, And
he hath
lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye
die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel 33 12
You,
son of man, tell the children of your people, The righteousness of
the righteous shall not deliver
him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the
wicked, he shall not fall
thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall
he who is righteous be able
to live thereby in the day that he sins.
And
thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The
righteousness of the
righteous
shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for
the wickedness
of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth
from his wickedness;
neither
shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he
sinneth.
And
thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness
of the
righteous
doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness
of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from
his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the
day of his sin.
Ezekiel 33 13
When
I tell the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his
righteousness, and commit iniquity,
none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity
that he has committed,
therein shall he die.
When
I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth
to his
righteousness
and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be
remembered;
but
in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.
In
My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And -- he hath trusted
on his
righteousness,
And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not
remembered,
And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
Ezekiel 33 14
Again,
when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his
sin, and do that which is
lawful and right;
And
when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth
from his sin,
and
doeth judgment and justice;
And
in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And -- he hath turned
back
from
his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
Ezekiel 33 15
if
the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by
robbery, walk in the statutes
of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not
die.
if
the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by
robbery, walk in the
statutes
of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he
shall not die.
(The
pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth,) In the statutes
of life he
hath
walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth -- he doth not
die.
Ezekiel 33 16
None
of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he
has done that which
is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
None
of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him:
he hath
done
judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.
None
of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and
righteousness
he hath done, He doth surely live.
Ezekiel 33 17
Yet
the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal:
but as for them, their way is
not equal.
Yet
the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal:
but as for them, their way
is not equal.
And
the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not
pondered, As to
them
-- their way is not pondered.
Ezekiel 33 18
When
the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he
shall even die
therein.
When
the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is
wrong, then he
shall
die therein.
In
the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he
hath done
perversity
-- he dieth for it.
Ezekiel 33 19
When
the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful
and right, he shall live
thereby.
And
when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and
justice, he
shall
live for these things.
And
in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath
done
judgment
and righteousness, by them he liveth.
Ezekiel 33 20
Yet
you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. House of Israel, I will
judge you everyone after his ways.
Yet
ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will
judge you every one
after
his ways.
And
ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to
his ways
do
I judge you, O house of Israel.`
Ezekiel 33 21
It
happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month],
in the fifth [day] of the month,

city has been struck.
And
it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth
[month], on the fifth

escaped came; and he had
opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was
opened, and I was no
more mute.
Now
the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that
had escaped
came;
and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning;
and my
mouth
was opened, and I was no more dumb.
And
the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the
coming in
of
the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me
in the
morning,
and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.

of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel
speak, saying, Abraham was one,
and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for
inheritance.

of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel
speak, saying,
Abraham
was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is
given us for a

tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You eat with the blood, and
lift up your eyes to your
idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
Therefore
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood,
and lift up
your
eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the
land?

stand on your sword, you work abomination, and you defile everyone
his neighbor`s wife: and
shall you possess the land?

stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one
his neighbour`s
wife;
and shall ye possess the land?
Ye
have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of
his
neighbour
ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
Ezekiel 33 27
Thus
shall you tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: As I live, surely
those who are in the waste places
shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give
to the animals to be devoured;
and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of
the pestilence.
Say
thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live,
verily they that are in
the
waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open
field will I give to the
beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in
the caves shall die of
the
pestilence.
Thus
dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live -- do
not they who
[are]
in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of
the field, To
the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and
in caves by
pestilence
die.

through.

come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my
people, and they hear your words,

their heart goes after their
gain.
And
they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee
[as] my people, and they
hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew
much love, [but]
their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.
And
they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit
before thee -
-
My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For
doting loves
with
their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart

Son
of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell
them, even to the shepherds,
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed
themselves! Shouldn`t
the shepherds feed the sheep?
Son
of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say
unto them, unto
the
shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of
Israel that feed
themselves!
Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
`Son
of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou
hast
said
unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the shepherds
of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds
feed?
Ezekiel 34 3
You
eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill the fatlings;
but you don`t feed the sheep.
Ye
eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are
fattened: [but] ye
feed
not the flock.
The
fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the
flock ye feed
not.
Ezekiel 34 4
You
haven`t strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which
was sick, neither have
you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back
that which was driven
away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and
with rigor have you
ruled over them.
The
weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye
have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was
driven away, neither have
ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with
rigour have ye ruled over them.
The
weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed,
And the
broken
ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And
the
lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with
rigour.
Ezekiel 34 5
They
were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food
to all the animals of the
field, and were scattered.
And
they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became
meat to all the beasts
of the field, and were scattered.
And
they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to
every beast of
the
field, Yea, they are scattered.
Ezekiel 34 6
My
sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill:
yes, my sheep were scattered
on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or
sought.
My
sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill,
and my sheep
have
been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none
that searched, or

sought for them.
Go
astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And
on all the
face
of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none
inquiring, and
none
seeking.
Ezekiel 34 7
Therefore,
you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
Therefore,
ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Therefore,
shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:
Ezekiel 34 8
As
I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely because my sheep became a prey,
and my sheep became food
to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd,
neither did my shepherds search
for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn`t fed my
sheep;
[As]
I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a
prey, and my
sheep
have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no
shepherd, and my
shepherds
searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed
not my
flock, I
live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My
flock being for a
prey,
Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there
is no
shepherd,
And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do
feed
themselves,
And My flock they have not fed.
Ezekiel 34 9
therefore,
you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
--
therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
Therefore,
O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:
Ezekiel 34 10
Thus
says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will
require my sheep at their
hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall
the shepherds feed themselves
any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may
not be food for them.
Thus
saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I
will require my
sheep
at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that
the shepherds
may
feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their
mouth, that they
may
not be food for them.
Thus
said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have
required
My
flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the
flock, And no
more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock
from their
mouth,
And they are not to them for food.
Ezekiel 34 11
For
thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for
my sheep, and will seek them
out.
For
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search
for my sheep, and tend them.
For
thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I -- even I, have required My flock,
And I have
sought
it out.
Ezekiel 34 12
As
a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep
that are scattered
abroad,
so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all
places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
As
a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his
scattered sheep, so will I
tend
my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have
been scattered
in
the cloudy and dark day.
As
a shepherd`s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the
midst of his
scattered
flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all
places,
Whither
they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Ezekiel 34 13
I
will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the
countries, and will bring them
into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel,
by the watercourses, and
in all the inhabited places of the country.
And
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the
countries, and will
bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the
mountains of Israel by the
water-courses,
and in all the habitable places of the country.
And
brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the
lands,
And
brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains
of
Israel,
By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
Ezekiel 34 14
I
will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height
of Israel shall their fold be:
there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall
they feed on the mountains of
Israel.
I
will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of
Israel shall their fold
be:
there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they
shall feed upon the
mountains
of Israel.
With
good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of
Israel is
their
habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat
pastures
they
enjoy on mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 34 15
I
myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie
down, says the Lord Yahweh.
I
will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith
the Lord Jehovah.
I
feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the
Lord Jehovah.
Ezekiel 34 16
I
will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was
driven away, and will bind up
that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but
the fat and the strong I will
destroy; I will feed them in justice.
I
will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and
will bind up the
broken,
and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat
and the
strong:
I will feed them with judgment.
The
lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind
up, and the
sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it
with judgment.
Ezekiel 34 17
As
for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge
between sheep and sheep, the rams
and the male goats.
And
as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge
between sheep and
sheep,
between the rams and the he-goats.
And
you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between
sheep and
sheep,
Between rams and he-goats.
Ezekiel 34 18
Seems
it a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must
tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear
waters, but you must foul the residue
with your feet?
Is
it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures,
but ye must tread
down
with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the
settled waters,
but
ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Is
it a little thing for you -- the good pasture ye enjoy, And the
remnant of your
pasture
ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And
the
remainder
with your feet ye trample,
Ezekiel 34 19
As
for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet,
and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
And
my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and
to drink that
which
ye have fouled with your feet.
And
My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled
thing of
your feet drinketh?
Ezekiel 34 20
Therefore
thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge
between the fat sheep and
the lean sheep.
Therefore
thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will
judge
between
the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Therefore,
thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I -- even I, have judged
between
fat
sheep and lean sheep.
Ezekiel 34 21
Because
you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased
with your horns, until
you have scattered them abroad;
Because
ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones
with your
horns,
till ye have scattered them abroad,
Because
with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push
all
the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,
Ezekiel 34 22
therefore
will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will
judge between sheep and
sheep.
--
I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will
judge between sheep
and
sheep.

iniquity of the end;

for a prey.

soul, to plunder it by pillage.

nations ye have
borne.

bereaved
thy nation,

1 Peter 3
1Pe 3:1 In like manner,
wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any
don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives
without a word;
1Pe 3:2 seeing your
pure behavior in fear.
1Pe 3:3 Let your beauty
be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing
jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
1Pe 3:4 but in the
hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
1Pe 3:5 For this is how
the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves,
being in subjection to their own husbands:
1Pe 3:6 as Sarah obeyed
Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do
well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
1Pe 3:7 You husbands,
in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving
honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint
heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
1Pe 3:8 Finally, be all
like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted,
courteous,
1Pe 3:9 not rendering
evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing;
knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a
blessing.
1Pe 3:10 For, "He
who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from
evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
1Pe 3:11 Let him turn
away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
1Pe 3:12 For the eyes
of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer;
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
1Pe 3:13 Now who is he
who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?
1Pe 3:14 But even if
you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "Don't
fear what they fear, neither be troubled."
1Pe 3:15 But sanctify
the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to
everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you,
with humility and fear:
1Pe 3:16 having a good
conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may
be disappointed who curse your good manner of life in Christ.
1Pe 3:17 For it is
better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for
doing evil.
1Pe 3:18 Because Christ
also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that
he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made
alive in the spirit;
1Pe 3:19 in which he
also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
1Pe 3:20 who before
were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah,
while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls,
were saved through water.
1Pe 3:21 This is a
symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
1Pe 3:22 who is at the
right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities
and powers being made subject to him.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
