Ezekiel 18:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ “Now if the wicked person turns from all the sins he has committed,^(A) keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will certainly live; he will not die. ²² None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him.^(B) He will live because of the righteousness he has practiced.^{(C) 23} Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?”^(D) This is the declaration of the Lord God. “Instead, don’t I take pleasure when he turns from his ways and lives?
