14. “So when I tell the wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right —
15. he returns collateral, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity — he will certainly live; he will not die.
16. None of the sins he committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.
17. “But your people say, ‘The Lord’s way isn’t fair,’ even though it is their own way that isn’t fair.
18. When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die on account of this.
19. But if a wicked person turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
