Ezekiel 33:13-17
Ezekiel 33:13
When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die.
Ezekiel 33:14
But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,
Ezekiel 33:15
if a wicked person returns a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing injustice, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.
Ezekiel 33:16
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall certainly live.
Ezekiel 33:17
“Yet your fellow citizens say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right,’ when it is their own way that is not right.
