H3808–לֹא–lo

Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

הֲלוֹא֩ (לוֹא֩) lO' “not”וְלֹֽא־ (לֹֽא) lo'- “not”

הֲלוֹא֩ (לוֹא֩) lO' “not”

Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon;

הֲלֹ֥א (לֹ֥א) Lo' “not”

לֹ֗א Lo' “not”

And Pharaoh with his strong army and great forces will be no help to him in the war, when they put up earthworks and make strong walls for the cutting off of lives:

וְלֹא֩ (לֹא֩) Lo' “not”

For he put his oath on one side in letting the agreement be broken; and though he had given his hand to it, he did all these things; he will not get away safe.

לֹ֥א lo' “not”

And so the Lord has said, By my life, truly, for my oath which he put on one side, and my agreement which has been broken, I will send punishment on his head.

לֹ֗א Lo' “not”

Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,

לֹ֣א lo' “not”

לֹ֣א lo' “not”לֹ֣א lo' “not”לֹ֣א lo' “not”

Who has kept his hand from evil-doing and has not taken interest or great profits, who has done my orders and been guided by my rules: he will certainly not be put to death for the evil-doing of his father; life will certainly be his.

לֹא־ lo'- “not”

לֹא־ lo'- “not”

The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on

הֲל֛וֹא (ל֛וֹא) Lo' “not”

But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death w
