“ As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote 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 I will judge you, house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord God.“ Repent and turn away from all your offenses, so that wrongdoing does not become a stumbling block to you.

“ Yet you say,‘ Why should the son not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt?’ When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has kept all My statutes and done them, he shall certainly live.The person who sins will die. A son will not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for the son’s guilt; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

Say to them,‘ As I live!’ declares the Lord God,‘ I take no pleasure at all in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then should you die, house of Israel?’And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens,‘ The righteousness of a righteous one will not save him on the day of his offense, and as for the wickedness of a wicked one, he will not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die.But when I say to the wicked,‘ You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,if a wicked person returns a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing injustice, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall certainly live.“ Yet your fellow citizens say,‘ The way of the Lord is not right,’ when it is their own way that is not right.When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, then he shall die in it.But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and practices justice and righteousness, he will live by them.Yet you say,‘ The way of the Lord is not right.’ 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 under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your wrongdoings and your abominations.I am not doing this for your sake,” declares the Lord God;“ let that be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways, house of Israel!”
