Ezekiel 33:17

Verse 17 of 33. The 33rd of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

13When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.

14Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,

15if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.

16None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.

17“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.

18When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.

19When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.

20Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”

21In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
