Ezekiel 33:17-20
International Standard Version
17 “Nevertheless, your people’s children keep saying, ‘Living life the Lord’s way[a] isn’t right,’ when all the while it is their way of living[b] that isn’t right. 18 When a righteous man forsakes his own righteousness and commits evil acts, he will die because of those acts, 19 and when the wicked turn away from their wickedness and do what is just and right, he will certainly live because of that. 20 “And yet you keep saying, ‘Living life[c] the Lord’s way isn’t right,’ But I will judge every one of you according to the way you live, you house of Israel!”
