Ezekiel 33:15

Read in context

Ezekiel 33:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

14 But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—

15 if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.

16 None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.

17 Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.
