30Therefore I will judge each man according to his ways, O house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD. Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you.

31Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions by which you have transgressed, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?
