EZEKIEL 18:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
Israel is called to cast away all their transgressions and get themselves a new heart and new spirit, requesting the moral and spiritual transformation that God desires and enables. The language of new heart and new spirit suggests that genuine repentance requires internal reorientation, not merely behavioral modification. This appeal to transformation establishes the existential depth of what repentance entails.
