18 “I have positively heard Eʹphra·im bemoaning himself,+ ‘You have corrected me, that I may be corrected,+ like a calf that has not been trained.+ Cause me to turn back, and I shall readily turn back,+ for you are Jehovah my God.+

32 “‘For I do not take any delight in the death of someone dying,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. ‘So cause a turning back and keep living,+ O YOU people.’”

11 Say to them, ‘“As I am alive,” is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take delight, not in the death of the wicked one,+ but in that someone wicked turns back+ from his way and actually keeps living.+ Turn back, turn back from YOUR bad ways,+ for why is it that YOU should die, O house of Israel?”’+
