10 “Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what you have [a]said: “Surely our offenses and our sins are upon us, and we are (A)rotting away in them; (B)how then can we [b]survive?”’ 11 Say to them, ‘(C)As I live!’ declares the Lord [c]God, ‘I take (D)no pleasure at all in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked (E)turn from his way and live. (F)Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then should you die, house of Israel?’
