Why Will You Die, Israel?

12 t "And you, son of man, say to l your people, m The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, n and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, m and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness 1 when he sins. 13 Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet m if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die.
