17 (A)“Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not [a]fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair! 18 (B)When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it. 19 But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it. 20 Yet you say, (C)‘The way of the Lord is not [b]fair.’ O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways.”
