Ezekiel 33:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ “O people of Israel, you are saying: ‘Our sins are heavy upon us; we pine away with guilt. How can we live?’ ¹¹ Tell them: ‘As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; I desire that the wicked turn from his evil ways and live. Turn, turn from your wickedness, for why will you die, O Israel? ¹² For the good works of a righteous man will not save him if he turns to sin; and the sins of an evil man will not destroy him if he repents and turns from his sins.’
