Ezekiel 18:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 18:28

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!”
