Ezekiel 33:15

(The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth,) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth not die.

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James Version

If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

In Context

16None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
