King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Again the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559]

2. Son[H1121] of man,[H120] speak[H1696] to[H413] the children[H1121] of thy people,[H5971] and say[H559] unto[H413] them, When[H3588] I bring[H935] the sword[H2719] upon[H5921] a land,[H776] if the people[H5971] of the land[H776] take[H3947] a[H259] man[H376] of their coasts,[H4480] [H7097] and set[H5414] him for their watchman: [H6822]

3. If when he seeth[H7200] [H853] the sword[H2719] come[H935] upon[H5921] the land,[H776] he blow[H8628] the trumpet,[H7782] and warn[H2094] [H853] the people;[H5971]

4. Then whosoever heareth[H8085] [H8085] [H853] the sound[H6963] of the trumpet,[H7782] and taketh not warning;[H2094] [H3808] if the sword[H2719] come,[H935] and take him away,[H3947] his blood[H1818] shall be[H1961] upon his own head.[H7218]

5. He heard[H8085] [H853] the sound[H6963] of the trumpet,[H7782] and took not warning;[H2094] [H3808] his blood[H1818] shall be[H1961] upon him. But he[H1931] that taketh warning[H2094] shall deliver[H4422] his soul.[H5315]

6. But if[H3588] the watchman[H6822] see[H7200] [H853] the sword[H2719] come,[H935] and blow[H8628] not[H3808] the trumpet,[H7782] and the people[H5971] be not[H3808] warned;[H2094] if the sword[H2719] come,[H935] and take[H3947] any person[H5315] from among[H4480] them, he[H1931] is taken away[H3947] in his iniquity;[H5771] but his blood[H1818] will I require[H1875] at the watchman's[H6822] hand.[H4480] [H3027]

7. So thou,[H859] O son[H1121] of man,[H120] I have set[H5414] thee a watchman[H6822] unto the house[H1004] of Israel;[H3478] therefore thou shalt hear[H8085] the word[H1697] at my mouth,[H4480] [H6310] and warn[H2094] them from[H4480] me.

8. When I say[H559] unto the wicked,[H7563] O wicked[H7563] man, thou shalt surely die;[H4191] [H4191] if thou dost not[H3808] speak[H1696] to warn[H2094] the wicked[H7563] from his way,[H4480] [H1870] that[H1931] wicked[H7563] man shall die[H4191] in his iniquity;[H5771] but his blood[H1818] will I require[H1245] at thine hand.[H4480] [H3027]

9. Nevertheless, if[H3588] thou[H859] warn[H2094] the wicked[H7563] of his way[H4480] [H1870] to turn[H7725] from[H4480] it; if he do not[H3808] turn[H7725] from his way,[H4480] [H1870] he[H1931] shall die[H4191] in his iniquity;[H5771] but thou[H859] hast delivered[H5337] thy soul.[H5315]

10. Therefore, O thou[H859] son[H1121] of man,[H120] speak[H559] unto[H413] the house[H1004] of Israel;[H3478] Thus[H3651] ye speak,[H559] saying,[H559] If[H3588] our transgressions[H6588] and our sins[H2403] be upon[H5921] us, and we[H587] pine away[H4743] in them, how[H349] should we then live?[H2421]

11. Say[H559] unto[H413] them, As I[H589] live,[H2416] saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] GOD,[H3069] I have no pleasure[H518] [H2654] in the death[H4194] of the wicked;[H7563] but[H3588] [H518] that the wicked[H7563] turn[H7725] from his way[H4480] [H1870] and live:[H2421] turn[H7725] ye, turn[H7725] ye from your evil[H7451] ways;[H4480] [H1870] for why[H4100] will ye die,[H4191] O house[H1004] of Israel?[H3478]

12. Therefore, thou[H859] son[H1121] of man,[H120] say[H559] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of thy people,[H5971] The righteousness[H6666] of the righteous[H6662] shall not[H3808] deliver[H5337] him in the day[H3117] of his transgression:[H6588] as for the wickedness[H7564] of the wicked,[H7563] he shall not[H3808] fall[H3782] thereby in the day[H3117] that he turneth[H7725] from his wickedness;[H4480] [H7562] neither[H3808] shall the righteous[H6662] be able[H3201] to live[H2421] for his righteousness in the day[H3117] that he sinneth.[H2398]

13. When I shall say[H559] to the righteous,[H6662] that he shall surely live;[H2421] [H2421] if he[H1931] trust[H982] to[H5921] his own righteousness,[H6666] and commit[H6213] iniquity,[H5766] all[H3605] his righteousnesses[H6666] shall not[H3808] be remembered;[H2142] but for his iniquity[H5766] that[H834] he hath committed,[H6213] he shall die[H4191] for it.

14. Again, when I say[H559] unto the wicked,[H7563] Thou shalt surely die;[H4191] [H4191] if he turn[H7725] from his sin,[H4480] [H2403] and do[H6213] that which is lawful[H4941] and right;[H6666]

15. If the wicked[H7563] restore[H7725] the pledge,[H2258] give again[H7999] that he had robbed,[H1500] walk[H1980] in the statutes[H2708] of life,[H2416] without[H1115] committing[H6213] iniquity;[H5766] he shall surely live,[H2421] [H2421] he shall not[H3808] die.[H4191]

16. None[H3808] [H3605] of his sins[H2403] that[H834] he hath committed[H2398] shall be mentioned[H2142] unto him: he hath done[H6213] that which is lawful[H4941] and right;[H6666] he shall surely live.[H2421] [H2421]

17. Yet the children[H1121] of thy people[H5971] say,[H559] The way[H1870] of the Lord[H136] is not equal:[H8505] [H3808] but as for them,[H1992] their way[H1870] is not equal.[H8505] [H3808]

18. When the righteous[H6662] turneth[H7725] from his righteousness,[H4480] [H6666] and committeth[H6213] iniquity,[H5766] he shall even die[H4191] thereby.

19. But if the wicked[H7563] turn[H7725] from his wickedness,[H4480] [H7564] and do[H6213] that which is lawful[H4941] and right,[H6666] he[H1931] shall live[H2421] thereby.[H5921]

20. Yet ye say,[H559] The way[H1870] of the Lord[H136] is not equal.[H8505] [H3808] O ye house[H1004] of Israel,[H3478] I will judge[H8199] you every one[H376] after his ways.[H1870]

21. And it came to pass[H1961] in the twelfth[H8147] [H6240] year[H8141] of our captivity,[H1546] in the tenth[H6224] month, in the fifth[H2568] day of the month,[H2320] that one that had escaped[H6412] out of Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] came[H935] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559] The city[H5892] is smitten.[H5221]

22. Now the hand[H3027] of the LORD[H3068] was[H1961] upon[H413] me in the evening,[H6153] before[H6440] he that was escaped[H6412] came;[H935] and had opened[H6605] [H853] my mouth,[H6310] until[H5704] he came[H935] to[H413] me in the morning;[H1242] and my mouth[H6310] was opened,[H6605] and I was no more dumb.[H481] [H3808] [H5750]

23. Then the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559]

24. Son[H1121] of man,[H120] they that inhabit[H3427] those[H428] wastes[H2723] of[H5921] the land[H127] of Israel[H3478] speak,[H559] saying,[H559] Abraham[H85] was[H1961] one,[H259] and he inherited[H3423] [H853] the land:[H776] but we[H587] are many;[H7227] the land[H776] is given[H5414] us for inheritance.[H4181]

25. Wherefore[H3651] say[H559] unto[H413] them, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] GOD;[H3069] Ye eat[H398] with[H5921] the blood,[H1818] and lift up[H5375] your eyes[H5869] toward[H413] your idols,[H1544] and shed[H8210] blood:[H1818] and shall ye possess[H3423] the land?[H776]

26. Ye stand[H5975] upon[H5921] your sword,[H2719] ye work[H6213] abomination,[H8441] and ye defile[H2930] every one[H376] [H853] his neighbor's[H7453] wife:[H802] and shall ye possess[H3423] the land?[H776]

27. Say[H559] thou thus[H3541] unto[H413] them, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] GOD;[H3069] As I[H589] live,[H2416] surely[H518] [H3808] they that[H834] are in the wastes[H2723] shall fall[H5307] by the sword,[H2719] and him that[H834] is in[H5921] the open[H6440] field[H7704] will I give[H5414] to the beasts[H2416] to be devoured,[H398] and they that[H834] be in the forts[H4679] and in the caves[H4631] shall die[H4191] of the pestilence.[H1698]

28. For I will lay[H5414] [H853] the land[H776] most desolate,[H8077] [H4923] and the pomp[H1347] of her strength[H5797] shall cease;[H7673] and the mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478] shall be desolate,[H8074] that none[H4480] [H369] shall pass through.[H5674]

29. Then shall they know[H3045] that[H3588] I[H589] am the LORD,[H3068] when I have laid[H5414] [H853] the land[H776] most desolate[H8077] [H4923] because of[H5921] all[H3605] their abominations[H8441] which[H834] they have committed.[H6213]

30. Also, thou[H859] son[H1121] of man,[H120] the children[H1121] of thy people[H5971] still are talking[H1696] against thee by[H681] the walls[H7023] and in the doors[H6607] of the houses,[H1004] and speak[H1696] one[H2297] to[H854] another,[H259] every one[H376] to[H854] his brother,[H251] saying,[H559] Come,[H935] I pray you,[H4994] and hear[H8085] what[H4100] is the word[H1697] that cometh forth[H3318] from[H4480] [H854] the LORD.[H3068]

31. And they come[H935] unto[H413] thee as the people[H5971] cometh,[H3996] and they sit[H3427] before[H6440] thee as my people,[H5971] and they hear[H8085] [H853] thy words,[H1697] but they will not[H3808] do[H6213] them: for[H3588] with their mouth[H6310] they[H1992] show[H6213] much love,[H5690] but their heart[H3820] goeth[H1980] after[H310] their covetousness.[H1215]

32. And, lo,[H2009] thou art unto them as a very lovely[H5690] song[H7892] of one that hath a pleasant[H3303] voice,[H6963] and can play well on an instrument:[H5059] [H3190] for they hear[H8085] [H853] thy words,[H1697] but they do[H6213] them not.[H369]

33. And when this cometh to pass,[H935] (lo,[H2009] it will come,)[H935] then shall they know[H3045] that[H3588] a prophet[H5030] hath been[H1961] among[H8432] them.
