11
Say unto them, As I live,saith the LordGOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wickedturn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evilways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12
Therefore, thou son of man,say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
13
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surelylive; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commitiniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
15
If the wickedrestore the pledge, give again that he had robbed,walk in the statutes of life, without committinginiquity; he shall surelylive, he shall not die.
