Ezekiel 16:52
16:52 So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. 5 Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous than you.

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 6 and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! 7 Why should you die, O house of Israel?’
1 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.
2 tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”
3 tn The MT lacks “you.” It has been added for clarification.
4 tn Heb “and by their judgments.”
5 tn Heb “because you have interceded for your sisters with your sins.”
6 tn Heb “turn from his way.”
7 tn Heb “ways.” This same word is translated “behavior” earlier in the verse.
