The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.

The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, he will die for this. He will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.

I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.

I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.

Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
