Ezekiel 18:25-29

New Century Version

²⁵ “But you say, ‘What the Lord does isn’t fair.’ Listen, people of Israel. I am fair. It is what you do that is not fair! ²⁶ When good people stop doing good and do wrong, they will die because of it. They will die, because they did wrong. ²⁷ When the wicked stop being wicked and do what is fair and right, they will save their lives. ²⁸ Because they thought about it and stopped doing all the sins they had done, they will surely live; they will not die. ²⁹ But the people of Israel still say, ‘What the Lord does isn’t fair.’ People of Israel, I am fair. It is what you do that is not fair.
