Therefore, thou son of man, say to the children of thy people, The (g) righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.
(g) Read of this righteousness, (Ezekiel 18:21; Ezekiel 18:24).
