Ezekiel 33:17

The Message of the Watchman

16None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.17Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.18If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
