Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?

Ειπε προς αυτους· Ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν θελω τον θανατον του αμαρτωλου, αλλα να επιστρεψη ο ασεβης απο της οδου αυτου και να ζη· επιστρεψατε, επιστρεψατε απο των οδων υμων των πονηρων· δια τι να αποθανητε, οικος Ισραηλ;

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
