26:017:024 And all the trees of the field shall know
that I the lord have
brought
down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have
dried
up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to
flourish:
I the lord have spoken and have done it.
26:018:001 The word of the lord came unto me again, saying,
26:018:002 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb
concerning the land of
Israel,
saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the
children’s
teeth are set on edge?
26:018:003 As I live, saith the Lord god, ye
shall not have occasion any
more
to use this proverb in Israel.
26:018:004 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul
of the father, so also
the
soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth,
it shall
die.
26:018:005 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
26:018:006 And hath not eaten upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up
his
eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath
defiled
his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near
to a
menstruous
woman,
26:018:007 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored
to the debtor
his
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his
bread
to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a
garment;
26:018:008 He that hath not given forth upon usury,
neither hath taken
any
increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
hath
executed
true judgment between man and man,
26:018:009 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept
my judgments, to
deal
truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the
Lord
god.
26:018:010 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder
of blood, and
that
doeth the like to any one of these things,
26:018:011 And that doeth not any of those duties,
but even hath eaten
upon
the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,
26:018:012 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath
spoiled by violence,
hath
not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes
to
the
idols, hath committed abomination,
26:018:013 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken
increase: shall he
then
live? he shall not live: he hath done all these
abominations;
he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon
him.
26:018:014 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth
all his father’s sins
which
he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
26:018:015 That hath not eaten upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up
his
eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not
defiled
his
neighbour’s wife,
