Verse 24

But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? All his righteousness that he has done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
