Bear One Another's Burdens and Do Good

¹Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.

²Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.

³For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;

⁴but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.

⁵For each shall bear his own burden.

⁶Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

⁷Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.

⁸For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life:

⁹but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.

¹⁰So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.

Boasting Only in the Cross of Christ

¹¹See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

¹²As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

¹³For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

¹⁴But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.

¹⁶And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

¹⁷For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

The Duty and Calling of the Watchman

¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them all, and set him for their watchman:

³if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

⁴then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

⁵He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.

⁶But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

⁷So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.

⁸When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

⁹But if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

The Justice That Judges Each According to His Ways

¹⁰And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should we live?

¹¹Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

¹²And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.

¹³When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.

¹⁴And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;

¹⁵if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

¹⁶None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.

¹⁷Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

¹⁸When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.

¹⁹And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things.

²⁰Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

News of Jerusalem's Fall and the People's Hypocrisy

²¹And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten!

²²Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

²³And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²⁴Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is given us for a possession.

²⁵Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?

²⁶Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land?

²⁷Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

²⁸And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolated, so that none shall pass through.

²⁹And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.

³⁰And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.

³¹And they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.

³²And behold, thou art unto them as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, and one that playeth well on an instrument; and they hear thy words, but they do them not.

³³And when this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

A Voice Urging Obedience at the Feast

¹Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

²Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

³Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

⁴For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

⁵He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

⁶I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

⁷Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

⁹There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

¹⁰I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

¹²So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

¹³Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!

¹⁴I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

¹⁶And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

A Rebuke Against Unjust Judges

¹God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

²How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

³Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

⁴Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

⁶I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

⁷But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

⁸Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all the nations.
