O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

Ezekiel 18: 30-32
