¹⁴ Or when I say to the wicked man, “You will surely die,” and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness— ¹⁵ if that wicked man returns the collateral paid to him for a loan, returns what he has stolen, walks in the laws that lead to life, and so avoids doing unrighteous things—he will surely live. He will not die. ¹⁶ All of the evil acts he committed will not be remembered against him. Since he has practiced justice and righteousness, he will certainly live.
