If, however, he begets a son who sees all the sins which his father has done, and considers but does not do likewise;

Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for exile, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into exile to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

ALEPH: Blessed are the upright in the way, who walk in the Law of Jehovah.

Then I shall not be ashamed, when I pay attention to all Your Commandments.

I have considered my ways, and turned my feet unto Your Testimonies.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, saying, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained bull; draw me back, and I shall return. For You are Jehovah my God.

But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger.

I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you,

But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has done, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live life; he shall not die.

Cast away from you all the transgressions by which you have transgressed, and prepare for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, O house of Israel?

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices,

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a people for His own possession, zealous unto good works.

For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.
