  1. 1The word of the LORD came to me:
  2. 2"Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
  3. 3and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
  4. 4then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.
  5. 5Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.
  6. 6But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
  7. 7"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
  8. 8When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
  9. 9But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
  10. 10"Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" '
  11. 11Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD , I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
  12. 12"Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.'
  13. 13If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done.
  14. 14And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-
  15. 15if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.
  16. 16None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
  17. 17"Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.
  18. 18If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.
  19. 19And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so.
  20. 20Yet, O house of Israel, you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to his own ways." ( Jerusalem's Fall Explained )
  21. 21In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month on the fifth day, a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, "The city has fallen!"
  22. 22Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and he opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.
  23. 23Then the word of the LORD came to me:
  24. 24"Son of man, the people living in those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, 'Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as our possession.'
  25. 25Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you eat meat with the blood still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land?
  26. 26You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?'
  27. 27"Say this to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.
  28. 28I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.
  29. 29Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done.'
  30. 30"As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, 'Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD .'
  31. 31My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
  32. 32Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
  33. 33"When all this comes true-and it surely will-then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
