Verse 12

Therefore, thou son{H1121} of man{H120}, say{H559}{(H8798)} unto the children{H1121} of thy people{H5971}, The righteousness{H6666} of the righteous{H6662} shall not deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} him in the day{H3117} of his transgression{H6588}: as for the wickedness{H7564} of the wicked{H7563}, he shall not fall{H3782}{(H8735)} thereby in the day{H3117} that he turneth{H7725}{(H8800)} from his wickedness{H7562}; neither shall the righteous{H6662} be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to live{H2421}{(H8800)} for his righteousness in the day{H3117} that he sinneth{H2398}{(H8800)}.
