Ezekiel 33: 11a [Latin] – Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Original Latin:

Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, nolo mortem peccatoris, sed ut magis convertatur et vivat.
