Ezekiel 33:12-16
New English Translation
12 “And you, son of man, say to your people,[a] ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels.[b] As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it.[c] The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness[d] if he sins.’[e] 13 Suppose I tell the righteous that he will certainly live, but he becomes confident in his righteousness and commits iniquity. None of his righteous deeds will be remembered; because of the iniquity he has committed he will die. 14 Suppose I say to the wicked, ‘You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right. 15 He[f] returns what was taken in pledge, pays back what he has stolen, and follows the statutes that give life,[g] committing no iniquity. He will certainly live—he will not die. 16 None of the sins he has committed will be counted[h] against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.

Lexham English Bible
12 “So[a] you, son of man,[b] say to your people[c] that the righteousness of the righteous shall not save him in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble[d] on the day of his returning from his wickedness; and the righteous will not be able to live by it on the day when he returns to his sin. 13 When I say to the righteous, ‘Certainly he will live,’ and he trusted in[e] his righteousness, and he turns and he does injustice, all of his righteousness[f] will not be remembered, and because of his injustice that he did, because of it he will die. 14 And when I say to the wicked, ‘Certainly you will die,’ but[g] he returns from his sin and he does justice and righteousness— 15 for example, the wicked returns a pledge for a loan, he restores stolen property,[h] he goes in the statutes of life so as not to do injustice—certainly he will live; he will not die. 16 All of his sins that he committed,[i] they will not be remembered against[j] him, and he did justice and righteousness; certainly he will live.
