As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. I think a lot of us would have pleasure, actually, in the death of the wicked, but that's not God's heart. And he goes on to say, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways. So basically, again, the Lord talking to, in this case, it was the Israelites saying, hey guys, turn back from your evil ways and come to me.
