Ezekiel 18:23-25
Christian Standard Bible
23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” (A) This is the declaration of the Lord God. “Instead, don’t I take pleasure when he turns from his ways and lives? 24 But when a righteous person turns from his righteousness(B) and acts unjustly, committing the same detestable acts that the wicked do, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered.(C) He will die because of the treachery he has engaged in and the sin he has committed.
25 “But you say, ‘The Lord’s way isn’t fair.’(D) Now listen, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair? Instead, isn’t it your ways that are unfair?
