Ezekiel 18:30-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁰ Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin.

³¹ Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit: and why will you die, O house of Israel?

³² For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live.
