Verse 17 is found in chapter 33 of Ezekiel. Past righteousness and past wickedness do not automatically determine present judgment. The righteous person who turns to evil will be accountable, while the wicked person who repents may live. God insists that his ways are just and calls the people to abandon injustice.

Aber dein Volk spricht: Der HERR urteilt nicht recht, so sie doch unrecht haben.
Luego dirán los hijos de tu pueblo: No es recta la vía del Señor: la vía de ellos es la que no es recta.
Pero los hijos de tu pueblo dicen: “El camino del Señor no es justo”. Es el camino de ellos el que no es justo.
Les enfants de ton peuple disent: La voie du Seigneur n'est pas droite. C'est leur voie qui n'est pas droite.
Ora i figliuoli del tuo popolo han detto: La via del Signore non è bene addirizzata; ma la lor propria via è quella che non è bene addirizzata.
Todavia os filhos do teu povo dizem: Não é justo o caminho do Senhor; mas o próprio caminho deles é que não é justo.
「你本國的百姓說:『主的道不公平。』其實他們,他們的道才是不公平。
