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?
The Lord says, "I don't want bad people to die, but I wish they would change their ways. So, you all should stop doing wrong things. Why do you want to die, people of Israel?"
