What does the Bible say about God's pleasure in the death of the wicked?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but desires that they turn from their ways and live.

According to Scripture, particularly in Ezekiel 18:23, God explicitly expresses His lack of delight in the death of the wicked. He seeks their repentance and life instead of their demise. This highlights the nature of God's justice and mercy; while He must punish sin as a good God, He finds no satisfaction in the punishment itself. This is to underscore the overarching theme of God's desire for reconciliation with sinners, illuminating His yearning that all would turn away from sin and embrace His grace.
