יחזקאל יח:כא מדרש: Midrash Tanchuma Buber

R. Levi said: Look at the word which the Holy One gave to the children of Adam. What is written (in Ezek. 18:21): MOREOVER, WHEN THE WICKED ONE REPENTS < OF ALL THE SINS THAT HE HAS COMMITTED, KEEPS ALL MY STATUTES, AND DOES WHAT IS JUST AND RIGHT, HE SHALL LIVE >. The Holy One said (in vs. 22): ALL HIS TRANSGRESSIONS WHICH HE HAS COMMITTED SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED AGAINST HIM. {ACCORDING TO HIS RIGHTEOUS ACTS} [BY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS] WHICH HE HAS PRACTICED, {HE HAS LIVED} HE SHALL LIVE {AND NOT DIE}. Ergo (in Cant. 5:16): HIS PALATE (i.e., what he says) IS MOST SWEET.
