Isaiah 28:21
28:21 For the Lord will rise up, as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself, as he did in the Valley of Gibeon,
to accomplish his work,
his peculiar work,
to perform his task,
his strange task.
Ezekiel 18:32
18:32 For I take no delight in the death of anyone,
declares the sovereign
Lord. Repent and live!
Ezekiel 33:11
33:11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the sovereign
Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior
and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds!
Why should you die, O house of Israel?’
Hebrews 12:9-10
12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from
our earthly fathers
and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?
12:10 For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
