Ezekiel 18:25-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ You people of Israel accuse me of being unfair! But listen—I’m not unfair; you are! ²⁶ If good people start doing evil, they must be put to death, because they have sinned. ²⁷ And if wicked people start doing right, they will save themselves from punishment. ²⁸ They will think about what they’ve done and stop sinning, and so they won’t be put to death.
