Bible verse
Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.
Ezekiel 33:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 33.
13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
14 But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—
15 if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
16 None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
17 Yet your people 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 commits iniquity, he will die for it.
19 But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
20 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”
