Ezekiel 7:13

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

For the seller {H4376} shall not return {H7725} to that which is sold {H4465}, although they were yet alive {H2416}: for the vision {H2377} is touching the whole multitude {H1995} thereof, which shall not return {H7725}; neither shall any {H376} strengthen {H2388} himself in the iniquity {H5771} of his life {H2416}.

For the seller will not return to what he sold, even if he is still alive; for though the vision was brought to all her many people, nobody repented. Each kept living his own wicked life; they weren't strong enough [to repent].

The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
