Contextual Overview
10“Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘You have said this: “Our transgressions and our sins are heavy on us, and we are wasting away because of them! How then can we survive?”’ 11Tell them, ‘As I live—this is the declaration of the Lord God—I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked person should turn from his way and live. Repent, repent of your evil ways! Why will you die, house of Israel?’ 12“Now, son of man, say to your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins. 13When I tell the righteous person that he will surely live, but he trusts in his righteousness and acts unjustly, then none of his righteousness will be remembered, and he will die because of the injustice he has committed. 14“‘So when I tell the wicked person, “You will surely die,” but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right— 15he returns collateral, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing injustice—he will certainly live; he will not die. 16None of the sins he committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live. 17“‘But your people say, “The Lord’s way isn’t fair,” even though it is their own way that isn’t fair. 18When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, he will die for it. 19But if a wicked person turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 33:19. He shall live thereby — "The wages of sin is death;" the "gift of God is eternal life." It is a miserable trade by which a man cannot live; such a trade is sin.
