33 “When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy,+ because they kept sinning against you,+ and they indeed return to you+ and laud your name+ and pray+ and make request for favor toward you in this house,+

3 This is what Jehovah of armies, the God* of Israel, has said: “Make YOUR ways and YOUR dealings good, and I will keep YOU people residing in this place.+

21 “‘Now as regards someone wicked, in case he should turn back from all his sins that he has committed+ and he should actually keep all my statutes and execute justice and righteousness,+ he will positively keep living. He will not die.+

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?”’+

5 And the men* of Ninʹe·veh began to put faith in God,+ and they proceeded to proclaim a fast and to put on sackcloth,+ from the greatest one of them even to the least one of them.
