15. if the wicked restores the pledge, returns that which he had robbed, walks in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity he shall surely live; he shall not die.
16. None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him. Has he lived according to judgment and righteousness? He shall surely live.
17. Then the sons of thy people shall say, The way of the Lord is not straight: but their way is the one that is not straight.
18. When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die thereby.
19. And when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does judgment and righteousness, he shall live thereby.
20. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not straight. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you each one after his ways.
