"And if I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ and yet he repents from his sin, and he does judgment and justice, "
— Ezekiel 33:14, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;”
“Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; ”
“Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;”
“Suppose I say to the wicked,‘You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right.”
“And it I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,”
“And when I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; if he is turned from his sin and does what is ordered and right;”
“Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;”
Say to them: As I live, says the Lord God, I do not desire the death of the impious, but that the impious should convert from his way and live. Be converted, be converted from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?
And as for you then, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The justice of the just man will not deliver him, on whatever day he will have sinned. And the impiety of the impious man will not harm him, on whatever day he will have been converted from his impiety. And the just man will not be able to live by his justice, on whatever day he will have sinned.
Even now, if I say to the just man that he shall certainly live, and so, with confidence in his justice, he commits iniquity, all his justices will be delivered into oblivion, and by his iniquity, which he has done, by this he shall die.
And if I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ and yet he repents from his sin, and he does judgment and justice,
and if that impious man returns the collateral, and repays what he has taken by force, and if he walks in the commandments of life, and does not do anything unjust, then he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.
None of his sins, which he has committed, will be imputed to him. He has done judgment and justice, so he shall certainly live.
And the sons of your people have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not a fair balance,’ even while their own way is unjust.
