Ezekiel 33:12

33:12 “And you, son of man, say to your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness if he sins.’


tn Heb “the sons of your people.”

tn Heb “in the day of his rebellion.” The statement envisions a godly person rejecting what is good and becoming sinful. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:247-48.

tn Heb “and the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble in it in the day of his turning from his wickedness.”

tn Heb “by it.”

tn Heb “in the day of his sin.”
