“Again,

When the wicked

Turn away

From the wickedness

That they have committed,

They shall live.

They do what is lawful.

They do what is right.

They shall save their lives.

Because they considered

Their transgressions,

They turned away

From all the transgressions

That they had committed.

They shall surely live.

They shall not die.”

The opposite is also true. When the wicked turn away from their evil ways, they will live and not die. If they do what is lawful and what is right, they would save their lives. They had considered the transgressions that they had committed, but then they turned away from them. Thus they will live and not die.
