14
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
