26 aWhen a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies.
27 Again, awhen a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive.
28 Because he aconsiders and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
29 aYet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair?
30 a“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. b“Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
31 aCast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a bnew heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?
32 For aI have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and blive!”
