Ezekiel 33:11-16 Say unto them, I live--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But--in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he has lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do you die, O house of Israel?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Say unto them, I live--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But--in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he has lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do you die, O house of Israel? ¹² And you, son of man, say unto the sons of your people:The righteousness of the righteous does not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He does not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning." ¹³ In My saying of the righteous:He surely lives, And--he has trusted on his righteousness, And he has done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he has done, For it he does die." ¹⁴ And in My saying to the wicked:You surely die, And--he has turned back from his sin, And has done judgment and righteousness, ¹⁵ (The pledge the wicked restores, plunder he repays,) In the statutes of life he has walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely lives--he does not die." ¹⁶ None of his sin that he has sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he has done, He does surely live."
