Ezekiel 33:15

Ezekiel Appointed As A Watchman And His Responsibility

¹⁴ But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices that which is just (fair) and right— ¹⁵ if a wicked man returns [what he took as] a pledge, pays back what he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes which ensure life, without committing injustice, he will certainly live; he will not die. ¹⁶ None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced that which is just (fair) and right; he will most certainly live.
