Ezekiel 33:17

But your people say: 'Jehovah's way is not right.' Yet, their ways are not right.

But you say: Jehovah's way is unfair. Listen, nation of Israel, is my way fair? Is it your ways that are unfair?

But the nation of Israel says: Jehovah's way is unfair. Is my way not fair, nation of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unfair?

Do you think this to be just? You say: 'I am in the right before God.'

Would you undo my justice? Would you condemn me so that you can be righteous?

The people of Israel say: 'Jehovah's way is not right.' I will judge each of you by your own ways, people of Israel.

The servant who received one talent said: 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man. You reap where you did not sow and gather where you did not scatter.

I feared you because you are an austere man. You take up what you do not lay down and you reap that which you did not sow.
