Ezekiel 33:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Yet your people say, The way of the Lord is not perfect or even just; but as for them, it is their own way that is not perfect or even just.

¹⁸ When the righteous turns back from his [uncompromising] righteousness and commits perverseness and iniquity, he shall even die in and because of it.

¹⁹ But if the wicked turns back from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it.
