Ezekiel 18:28-32
English Standard Version
28 Because he considered and turned away from all the transgressions that he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, are my ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?
30 “Therefore (A)I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. (B)Repent and turn from all your transgressions, (C)lest iniquity be your ruin.[a] 31 (D)Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and (E)make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! (F)Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 (G)For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; (H)so turn, and live.”
