Ezekiel 33:18

The Message of the Watchman

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.19But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
