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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God finds no pleasure in the death of the wicked and desires that they turn from their ways and live (Ezekiel 18:23).

In Ezekiel 18:23 and 33:11, God expresses His lack of pleasure in the death of the wicked and calls them to repentance. This highlights God's character as merciful and gracious, demonstrating that He desires all to turn from their sinful ways and live. The repeated message throughout these verses serves to remind us that even in light of His sovereignty and justice, God's heart is for reconciliation, beckoning the lost to return to Him.
