Ezekiel 18:25

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

²⁴ And {when the righteous turns} from his righteousness, so that he does injustice, and does all of the detestable things that the wicked do, then will he live [because of] all of his righteousness that he did? [Those things] will not be remembered because of his infidelity that he displayed, and because of his {sin that he committed}. Through them he shall die. ²⁵ "Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' Listen, now, house of Israel, is my way not fair? [Is it] not your ways [that] are not fair? ²⁶ When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and he does injustice, then he will die because of them; because of his injustice that he did he will die!
