But when I say to a wicked person, ‘You will die, yes, die,’ if he turns from his sins and does what is just and righteous,
“die, yes, die.” The Hebrew is the figure of speech polyptoton. [For more on the figure polyptoton used in this way and the way the REV translates it, see commentary on Genesis 2:16, and cp. Gen. 2:17, “you will die, yes, die”].
