American Standard VersionEzekiel - chapter 33, verses 10 - 11
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, (1) Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away (2) in them; how then can we live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
