Ezekiel 18:21-25

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

24“But when a righteous person 7turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person 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, house of Israel! Is 11My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right?
