*
Say to them : "
As I live ,'
says the Lord GOD , "
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked ,
but that the wicked turn from his way and live .
Turn ,
turn from your evil ways !
For why should you die ,
O house of Israel ?'
* "
Therefore you ,
O son of man ,
say to the children of your people : "
The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression ;
as for the wickedness of the wicked ,
he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness ;
nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins .'
*
When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live ,
but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity ,
none of his righteous works shall be remembered ;
but because of the iniquity that he has committed ,
he shall die .
*
Again ,
when I say to the wicked , "
You shall surely die ,'
if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right ,
*
if the wicked restores the pledge ,
gives back what he has stolen ,
and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity ,
he shall surely live ;
he shall not die .
*
None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him ;
he has done what is lawful and right ;
he shall surely live .
