And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?
John Gill
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness,.... This is repeated for the further confirmation of it, and to raise their attention to it; to make it more plain and manifest to them, and to fix it upon their minds: and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them: or, "he shall die for them" (m); both for his turning away from his righteousness, and for his committing iniquity: for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die; in both respects. This is repeated to denote the certainty of it. (m) "propter illa", Pagninus, Piscator, Grotius, Cocceius; so some in Vatsbins.
