“ As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel.

“ You will not use that proverb in Israel anymore,” announces the Lord and King.“ And that is just as sure as I am alive.

As I live, declares the Lord God, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel.

As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, you will not quote this proverb anymore in Israel.

As I live,” declares the Lord God,“ you certainly are not going to use this proverb in Israel anymore.

“ As I live,” says the Lord GOD,“ you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.

As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

As I live”— this is the declaration of the Lord God—“ you will no longer use this proverb in Israel.

[ As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have[ occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.

“ As surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, you will not quote this proverb in Israel anymore!

“ As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh,“ you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.

“ Therefore, house of Israel, I will judge each one of you according to his ways.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.“ Repent and turn from all your rebellious acts, so they will not become a sinful stumbling block to you.

But you may ask,‘ Why doesn’t the son suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all my statutes, he will certainly live.The person who sins is the one who will die. A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him.

Tell them,‘ As I live— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked person should turn from his way and live. Repent, repent of your evil ways! Why will you die, house of Israel?’“ Now, son of man, say to your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.When I tell the righteous person that he will surely live, but he trusts in his righteousness and acts unjustly, then none of his righteousness will be remembered, and he will die because of the injustice he has committed.“‘ So when I tell the wicked person,“ You will surely die,” but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right—he returns collateral, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing injustice— he will certainly live; he will not die.None of the sins he committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.“‘ But your people say,“ The Lord’s way isn’t fair,” even though it is their own way that isn’t fair.When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, he will die for it.But if a wicked person turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of it.Yet you say,“ The Lord’s way isn’t fair.” I will judge each of you according to his ways, house of Israel.’”

Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are subject to the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

“‘ You will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and detestable practices.It is not for your sake that I will act— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— let this be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated because of your ways, house of Israel!
