| Ezekiel 18:8 | And has not given his money out at interest or taken great profits, and, turning his hand from evil-doing, has kept faith between man and man, | he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man, | |
| Ezekiel 18:9 | And has been guided by my rules and has kept my laws and done them: he is upright, life will certainly be his, says the Lord. | hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah. | |
| Ezekiel 18:10 | If he has a son who is a thief, a taker of life, who does any of these things, | And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these [things], | |

| Ezekiel 18:14 | Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same: | But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like: | |
| Ezekiel 18:15 | Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, | he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, | |

| Ezekiel 18:22 | Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life. | None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live. | |
| Ezekiel 18:23 | Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life? | Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live? | |
| Ezekiel 18:24 | But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him. | And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live?

| Ezekiel 18:28 | Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate. | Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die. | |
| Ezekiel 18:29 | But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal? | But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal? | |
| Ezekiel 18:30 | For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil. | Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare. | |
| Ezekiel 18:31 | Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel? | Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, house of Israel? | |
| Ezekiel 18:32 | For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life. | For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live. | |
