Ezekiel 18:23-25
New American Standard Bible
23 (A)Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “[a]rather than that he would (B)turn from his ways and live?
24 “But when a righteous person (C)turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? (D)All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his (E)treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die. 25 Yet you say, ‘(F)The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, house of Israel! Is (G)My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right?

23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased(A) when they turn from their ways and live?(B)
24 “But if a righteous person turns(C) from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness(D) they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.(E)
25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’(F) Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust?(G) Is it not your ways that are unjust?

Ezekiel 18:23-25
King James Version
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
