Ezekiel 18:30

²⁸ Because he considered and turned from all the transgressions he had committed, he will surely live; he will not die.

²⁹ Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?

Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways, declares the Lord GOD. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your downfall.

³¹ Cast away from yourselves all the transgressions you have committed, and fashion for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?

³² For I take no pleasure in anyone’s death, declares the Lord GOD. So repent and live!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
