Ezekiel 33:10-12

[10] Therefore, O thou son  of man,  speak  unto the house  of Israel;  Thus ye speak,  If our transgressions  and our sins  be upon us, and we pine away  in them, how should we then live?  [11] Say  unto them, As I live,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  I have no pleasure  in the death  of the wicked;  turn  from his way  and live:  turn  ye from your evil  ways;  for why will ye die,  O house  of Israel?  [12] Therefore, thou son  of man,  say  unto the children  of thy people,  The 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  thereby 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.
