I zaż ja żądam śmierci grzesznego, mówi Pan Bóg? Izali nie więcej chcę tego, aby się nawrócił od dróg swych a żył?
Azaż Ja się kocham w śmierci niepobożnego? mrwi panujący Pan. Izali nie raczej, gdy się odwróci od dróg swoich, aby żył?
Czy zatem rzeczywiście zależy Mi na śmierci bezbożnego? - oświadcza PAN Zastępów. - Czy nie raczej na tym, by odwrócił się on od swoich postępków i żył?
Czyżbym miał pragnąć śmierci niegodziwego? – mówi Pan, WIEKUISTY. Raczej by się odwrócił od swoich dróg i żył.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God,.... Perish by sword, famine, or pestilence, or go into captivity; this, though the Lord's will and work, yet is his strange work; mercy is his delight. This is to be understood not absolutely; for the Lord does take pleasure in these things, as they fulfil his word, secure the honour of his truth and holiness, and glorify his justice, and especially when they are the means of reclaiming men from the evil of their ways; but comparatively, as follows:
[and] not that he should return from his ways, and live? that is, it is more pleasing to God that a man should repent of his sins, and forsake his vicious course of life, and enjoy good things, than to go on in his sins, and bring ruin on himself, here and hereafter.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 18:23. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? — No! That is foreign to him whose name is love, and whose nature is mercy. On the contrary he "wills that he should return from his evil ways and live."
And if God can have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, he cannot have made a decree to abandon him to the evil of his nature, and then damn him for what he could not avoid: for as God can do nothing with which he is not pleased, so he can decree nothing with which he is not pleased. But he is "not pleased with the death of a sinner," therefore he cannot have made a decree to bring him to this death.
