Ezekiel 33 — Context

12

Therefore, you son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.

13

When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.

14

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;

15

If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

16

None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned to him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. ¶

17

Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

18

When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
