Ezechiele 33:18
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #156
156. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 33
Of those who instruct and are instructed. (2)
1-5 Those who are instructed by the preacher concerning falsities and do not take heed, perish; (2, 11)
6-7 when the preacher sees falsities and does not give instruction concerning them, he perishes. (2)
8-9 The same is true of everyone who teaches doctrine, when he teaches and is not heard, or when he does not teach. (2, 3)
10-11 So now in the church, they must be taught in order that they may be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. (2)
12-16 If the evil man becomes good, His evil is forgiven; if the good man becomes evil, His good is not regarded. (2)
17-20 These things are Divine justice. (2, 3)
21-26 A perverted church declares that it is the church because it has the Word; nevertheless it falsifies the Word, worships another god and does evil, (2, 4)
27-29 and will perish by reason of falsities of evil, (3)
30-33 notwithstanding its hearing the Word, and being in external worship. (3)
