Ezekiel 18:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ I, the Lord God, don't like to see wicked people die. I had much rather see them turn back from their sins and live.

²⁴ But when good people start sinning and doing disgusting things, will they live? No! All their good deeds will be forgotten, and they will be put to death because of their sins.

²⁵ You people of Israel accuse me of being unfair! But listen—I'm not unfair; you are!
