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

²⁷ And when the wicked turns from his wickedness that he did and he does justice and righteousness, {he will preserve his life}. ²⁸ And if he sees and he returns from all of his transgressions that he did, surely he will live; he will not die! ²⁹ And [yet] they, the house of Israel, say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' [Are] not my ways fair, house of Israel? {Are not your ways unfair?}
