And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right.

再者，我对恶人说：‘你必定死亡！’他若转离他的罪，行正直与合理的事：

我对恶人说：‘你必死亡！’他若转离他的罪恶，行公平公义的事；

我对恶人说：‘你必死亡！’他若转离他的罪恶，行公平公义的事；

我虽对恶人说他必定要死，但他若改邪归正，行事公正仁义，

我虽然对恶人说：‘你必定死亡’，但是他若离开他的罪，行公平和正直的事，

再者，我對惡人說：『你必定死亡！』他若轉離他的罪，行正直與合理的事：

我對惡人說：『你必死亡！』他若轉離他的罪惡，行公平公義的事；

我對惡人說：『你必死亡！』他若轉離他的罪惡，行公平公義的事；

我雖對惡人說他必定要死，但他若改邪歸正，行事公正仁義，

我雖然對惡人說：‘你必定死亡’，但是他若離開他的罪，行公平和正直的事，

再者，我雖對惡人說：「你必定死」，然而他若轉離他的罪，行公平正義的事；

我若謂惡人曰、爾必死、而彼轉離其惡、循法合理、

我言惡人必死、如彼悛改、惟善是行。

我言惡人必死、如彼悔改其罪、為義行善、

And if I say to a wicked person,‘ You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just and right—

Suppose I say to a sinful person,‘ You can be sure you will die.’ And then they turn away from their sin. They do what is fair and right.

Again, though I say to the wicked,‘ You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right,

“‘ So when I tell the wicked person,“ You will surely die,” but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right—

But when I say to the wicked,‘ You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,

Again, when I say to the wicked,‘ You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right,

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

“ So when I tell the wicked person,‘ You will surely die,’ but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right—

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

Suppose I say to the wicked,‘ You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right.

Again, when I say to the wicked,“ You will surely die;” if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

And if wicked people turn from their wickedness, obey the law, and do what is just and right, they will save their lives.

Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sins have brought you down.

Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths.

If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed,but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned.

No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

If I warn the wicked, saying,‘ You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths.If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins. But you will have saved yourself because you obeyed me.

But if wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my decrees and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die.

Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem?No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”

Then he added,“ Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture:‘ I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

“ O Israel,” says the Lord,“ if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more.

Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.

But the wicked are doomed, for they will get exactly what they deserve.
