- Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
- "Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.'
- If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done.
- And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-
- if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.

- 你對他們說、主耶和華說、我指著我的永生起誓、我斷不喜悅惡人死亡.惟喜悅惡人轉離所行的道而活.以色列家阿、你們轉回、轉回罷、離開惡道.何必死亡呢。
- 人子阿、你要對本國的人民說、義人的義、在犯罪之日不能救他.至於惡人的惡、在他轉離惡行之日也不能使他傾倒.義人在犯罪之日也不能因他的義存活。
- 我對義人說、你必定存活.他若倚靠他的義而作罪孽、他所行的義、都不被記念.他必因所作的罪孽死亡。
- 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.
- 還人的當頭和所搶奪的、遵行生命的律例、不作罪孽.他必定存活、不至死亡。
