## Ezekiel 33:17-20 in Context (Verses 14–23 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/33/14) Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/33/15) *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.

 [22 ](/kjv/ezekiel/33/22) Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/ezekiel/33/23) Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
