EZEKIEL 33:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.”
When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he dies for it; but when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live by it, rearticulating the reversibility of moral status to respond to accusations of injustice. The symmetrical structure emphasizes fairness: consequences follow moral action in both directions.
