However, if the wicked renounce all of the sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is right and just, they shall surely live; they shall not die. | But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. |
Do I derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? asks the Lord God. Would I not rather rejoice to see them turn away from their wickedness and live? | “Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?” |

Repent and renounce all your transgressions. Otherwise your iniquity will prove to be your downfall. | Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. |
I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live! | “For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” |
