22. None of his transgressions that he committed will be remembered; because of his righteousness that he practiced, he will live.
23. “Do I delight at all in the death of the wicked?” It is a declaration of Adonai. “Rather, should he not return from his ways, and live?
24. But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity and does according to all the detestable acts that the wicked man does, will he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered; for his trespass that he trespassed and for his sin that he has sinned, for them he will die.
25. “Yet you say, ‘Adonai’s way is unfair!’ Hear now, house of Israel! Is My way not fair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
26. When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it; because of his iniquity that he did, he will die.
27. But when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he committed and does what is lawful and right, his soul will live.
28. Because he considers and turns away from all his transgressions that he committed, he will surely live, not die.
