Ezekiel 18:31

God's Just Treatment Of Individuals, Both Righteous And Wicked

³⁰ For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil. ³¹ Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel? ³² For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.
