“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 surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! Why should you die, O house of Israel?’
“And you, son of man, say to your people,‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness if he sins.’

He returns what was taken in pledge, pays back what he has stolen, and follows the statutes that give life, committing no iniquity. He will certainly live– he will not die.
None of the sins he has committed will be counted against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.
“Yet your people say,‘The behavior of the Lord is not right,’ when it is their behavior that is not right.
