| 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 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! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. | Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. |
| For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! | “For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” |
