The King James Version Bible

Ezekiel 33:16-22

  1. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

  2. Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

  3. When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

  4. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

  5. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

  6. And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

  7. Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
