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.

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!
