17"Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.


In Context

14 And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-

15 if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.

16 None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.

17 "Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.

18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.

19 And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so.
