Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
