Ezekiel 33:10-11

NSB(i) 10 »‘Son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘You people have said: »Our transgressions and our sins are upon us. We are rotting away in them. How can we survive?«’ 11 Say to them: ‘»As I am alive!« Declares the Lord Jehovah. »I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Only that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back! Turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?«’
