²⁵ Yet you say, ‘^(A)The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is ^(B)My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? ²⁶ When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, does injustice, and dies because of it, for his injustice which he has done he will die. ²⁷ Again, when a wicked man turns away ^(C)from his wickedness which he has done and does justice and righteousness, he will preserve his life. ²⁸ Again, he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had done; he shall surely live; he shall not die. ²⁹ But the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Are My ways not right, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not right?
