Ezekiel 33:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 33:10

8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have¹ delivered your soul.

10 “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we ^apine away in them, ^bhow can we then live?” ’

11 Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ^a‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked ^bturn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For ^cwhy should you die, O house of Israel?’

The Fairness of God’s Judgment

12 “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The ^arighteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, ^bhe shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’
