Ezekiel 33:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Say to them, ‘As I live,’[a] declares[b] the Lord Yahweh, ‘Surely I have no delight[c] in the death of the wicked, except[d] in the wicked returning from his way, and he lives. Turn back! Turn back from your ways, O evil ones, for why should you die, house of Israel?’
12 “So[e] you, son of man,[f] say to your people[g] that the righteousness of the righteous shall not save him in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble[h] on the day of his returning from his wickedness; and the righteous will not be able to live by it on the day when he returns to his sin. 13 When I say to the righteous, ‘Certainly he will live,’ and he trusted in[i] his righteousness, and he turns and he does injustice, all of his righteousness[j] will not be remembered, and because of his injustice that he did, because of it he will die.
