Ezekiel 18:21-30

21“But if the 1wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 222All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his 3righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. 234Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “5rather than that he should 6turn from his ways and live?

24“But when a righteous man 7turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? 8All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his 9treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die. 25Yet you say, ‘10The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is 11My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? 26When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die. 27Again, when a wicked man turns away 12from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. 28Because he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29But the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Are My ways not right, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not right?

30“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord God. “13Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you.
