| But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. | 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. |
| Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? | 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? |
| Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. | Repent and renounce all your transgressions. Otherwise your iniquity will prove to be your downfall. |
| For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! | I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live! |
