13 And has given out his money at interest and taken great profits: he will certainly not go on living: he has done all these disgusting things: death will certainly be his fate; his blood will be on him.

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:

and behold to beget son: child and to see: see [obj] all sin father his which to make: do and to see: see and not to make: do like/as them

18 As for his father, because he was cruel, took goods by force, and did what is not good among his people, truly, death will overtake him in his evil-doing.

19 But you say, Why does not the son undergo punishment for the evil-doing of the father? When the son has done what is ordered and right, and has kept my rules and done them, life will certainly be his.

and to say why? not to lift: guilt [the] son: child in/on/with iniquity: crime [the] father and [the] son: child justice and righteousness to make: do [obj] all statute my to keep: careful and to make: do [obj] them to live to live

20 The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.

21 But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.

and [the] wicked for to return: repent from all (sin his *Q(K)*) which to make and to keep: obey [obj] all (statute my *LAB(h)*) and to make: do justice and righteousness to live to live not to die

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.

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?

to delight in to delight in death wicked utterance Lord YHWH/God not in/on/with to return: repent he from way: conduct his and to live

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 in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make: do injustice like/as all [the] abomination which to make: do [the] wicked to make: do and to live all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which to make: do not to remember in/on/with unfaithfulness his which be unfaithful and in/on/with sin his which to sin in/on/with them to die

25 But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal?

and to say not to measure way: conduct Lord to hear: hear please house: household Israel way: conduct my not to measure not way: conduct your not to measure

26 When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him.

in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make: do injustice and to die upon them in/on/with injustice his which to make: do to die

27 Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.

and in/on/with to return: repent wicked from wickedness his which to make and to make: do justice and righteousness he/she/it [obj] soul: life his to live

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.

and to see: examine (and to return: repent *Q(k)*) from all transgression his which to make to live to live not to die

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?

and to say house: household Israel not to measure way: conduct Lord way: conduct my not to measure house: household Israel not way: conduct your not to measure

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.

to/for so man: anyone like/as way: conduct his to judge [obj] you house: household Israel utterance Lord YHWH/God to return: return and to return: repent from all transgression your and not to be to/for you to/for stumbling iniquity: crime

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?
