¶ Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a newSpirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a newSpiritwithin you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
A new heart also will I give you, and a newSpiritwill I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
