Ezekiel 18
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
30 Ref 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 Ref 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 Ref For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
30 Ref Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,
31 Ref Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Ref For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!
