Ezekiel 18:5-9
World English Bible
5 “But if a man is just,
and does that which is lawful and right,
6 and has not eaten on the mountains,
hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,
hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity,
7 and has not wronged any,
but has restored to the debtor his pledge,
has taken nothing by robbery,
has given his bread to the hungry,
and has covered the naked with a garment;
8 he who hasn’t lent to them with interest,
hasn’t taken any increase from them,
who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
has executed true justice between man and man,
9 has walked in my statutes,
and has kept my ordinances,
to deal truly;
he is just,
he shall surely live,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezekiel 18:5-9
New King James Version
5 But if a man is just
And does what is lawful and right;
6 (A)If he has not eaten [a]on the mountains,
Nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor (B)defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Nor approached (C)a woman during her impurity;
7 If he has not (D)oppressed anyone,
But has restored to the debtor his (E)pledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has (F)given his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with (G)clothing;
8 If he has not [b]exacted (H)usury
Nor taken any increase,
But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity
And (I)executed true [c]judgment between man and man;
9 If he has walked in My statutes
And kept My judgments faithfully—
He is just;
He shall surely (J)live!”
Says the Lord God.
