Ezekiel 18:28

God's Just Treatment Of Individuals, Both Righteous And Wicked

²⁷ Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul. ²⁸ Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate. ²⁹ But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal?
