Context of Ezekiel 18:30
28Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die. 29But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal? Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare. 31Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live.
