rsv@Ezekiel:33:11 @ 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 back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
rsv@Ezekiel:33:12 @ And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness; and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.
rsv@Ezekiel:33:13 @ Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in the iniquity that he has committed he shall die.
rsv@Ezekiel:33:14 @ Again, though I say to the wicked, `You shall surely die,' yet if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right,
rsv@Ezekiel:33:15 @ if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
rsv@Ezekiel:33:16 @ None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right, he shall surely live.

rsv@Ezekiel:33:18 @ When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall die for it.
rsv@Ezekiel:33:19 @ And when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live by it.
rsv@Ezekiel:33:20 @ Yet you say, `The way of the Lord is not just.' O house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to his ways."
