Ezekiel 33:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ If you do warn him and he refuses to change, he will die because of his sins. But you will have saved your own life.

¹⁰ Son of man, give Israel's people this message: “You are saying, ‘The punishment for our sins is too much for us. We are dying because of all the bad things that we have done. What should we do so that we can continue to live?’ ”

¹¹ Tell them, “It does not make me happy to punish wicked people with death. I, the Almighty Lord, promise you this, as surely as I live. I want wicked people to stop doing wrong things so that they may continue to live. So stop doing evil things! Israel's people, you do not have to die. Turn back to me!”
