As God is to judge them "according to their ways" (Pro 1:31), their only hope is to "repent"; and this is a sure hope, for God takes no delight in judging them in wrath, but graciously desires their salvation on repentance.
I will judge you--Though ye cavil, it is a sufficient answer that I, your Judge, declare it so, and will judge you according to My will; and then your cavils must end.
Repent--inward conversion (Rev 2:5). In the Hebrew there is a play of like sounds, "Turn ye and return."
turn yourselves, &c.--the outward fruits of repentance. Not as the Margin, "turn others"; for the parallel clause (Eze 18:31) is, "cast away from you all your transgressions." Perhaps, however, the omission of the object after the verb in the Hebrew implies that both are included: Turn alike yourselves and all whom you can influence.
from all . . . transgressions--not as if believers are perfect; but they sincerely aim at perfection, so as to be habitually and wilfully on terms with no sin (Jo1 3:6-9):
your ruin--literally, "your snare," entangling you in ruin. |

| Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions - There is still life; still a God that has no pleasure in the death of a sinner. one who is ever ready to give his Holy Spirit to all them that ask him; therefore "repent and turn, so iniquity shall not be your ruin." |
6 Whosoever [3956] abideth [3306] in [1722] him [846] sinneth [264] not [3756]: whosoever [3956] sinneth [264] hath [3708] not [3756] seen [3708] him [846], neither [3761] known [1097] him [846].
7 Little children [5040], let [4105] no man [3367] deceive [4105] you [5209]: he that doeth [4160] righteousness [1343] is [2076] righteous [1342], even as [2531] he [1565] is [2076] righteous [1342].
8 He that committeth [4160] sin [266] is [2076] of [1537] the devil [1228]; for [3754] the devil [1228] sinneth [264] from [575] the beginning [746]. For [1519] this purpose [5124] the Son [5207] of God [2316] was manifested [5319], that [2443] he might destroy [3089] the works [2041] of the devil [1228].
9 Whosoever [3956] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316] doth [4160] not [3756] commit sin [266]; for [3754] his [846] seed [4690] remaineth [3306] in [1722] him [846]: and [2532] he cannot [3756] [1410] sin [264], because [3754] he is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316].
31 Cast away [07993] from you all your transgressions [06588], whereby ye have transgressed [06586]; and make [06213] you a new [02319] heart [03820] and a new [02319] spirit [07307]: for why will ye die [04191], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]?
5 Remember [3421] therefore [3767] from whence [4159] thou art fallen [1601], and [2532] repent [3340], and [2532] do [4160] the first [4413] works [2041]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will remove [2795] thy [4675] candlestick [3087] out of [1537] his [846] place [5117], except [3362] thou repent [3340].
