They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.

The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

He entreats God, and God delights in him, he sees God’s face with rejoicing, and God restores to him his righteousness.

He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored.

Suppose I tell the righteous that he will certainly live, but he becomes confident in his righteousness and commits iniquity. None of his righteous deeds will be remembered; because of the iniquity he has committed he will die.

The Lord rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty. Even though today the Lord delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the Lord’s chosen one.

“When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I set an obstacle before him, he will die. If you have not warned him, he will die for his sin. The righteous deeds he performed will not be considered, but I will hold you accountable for his death.

“But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die.
