Ezekiel 33:15-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 33
15if a wicked person returns a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing injustice, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. 16None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall certainly live.
17Yet your fellow citizens say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right,’ when it is their own way that is not right.
18When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, then he shall die in it.
19But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and practices justice and righteousness, he will live by them.
King James Version
Chapter 33
15If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 33
15he returns collateral, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing injustice--he will certainly live; he will not die. 16None 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.
18When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, he will die for it.
19But if a wicked person turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of it.
New Living Translation
Chapter 33
15For instance, they might give back a debtor’s security, return what they have stolen, and obey my life-giving laws, no longer doing what is evil. If they do this, then they will surely live and not die. 16None of their past sins will be brought up again, for they have done what is just and right, and they will surely live.
17Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right.
18For again I say, when righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and turn to evil, they will die.
19But if wicked people turn from their wickedness and do what is just and right, they will live.
English Standard Version
Chapter 33
15if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.New International Version
Chapter 33
15if they give back what they took in pledge for a loan, return what they have stolen, follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil--that person will surely live; they will not die. 16None of the sins that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.
17Yet your people say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.
18If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, they will die for it.
19And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so.
New King James Version
Chapter 33
15if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17“Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair!
18When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it.
19But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it.
