Ezekiel 18:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ I do not really want the evil person to die, says the Lord God. I want him to stop his bad ways and live.

²⁴ “But a person who does right might stop doing good and do wrong. And he might do the same hated things an evil person does. Will he live? All his good acts will be forgotten. This is because he became unfaithful. He has sinned. So he will die because of his sins.

²⁵ “But you say, ‘What the Lord does isn’t fair.’ Hear now, people of Israel. I am fair. It is what you do that is not fair!
