"And you, son of man, say to your fellowcitizens, 'The righteousness of a righteousman will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteousman will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commitssin.'
