Ezekiel 1830-32

• Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel,
  every one according to his ways, says the Lord
  GOD. Repent, and turn from all your
  transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your
  ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions
  which you have committed, and get yourselves a
  new heart and a new spirit. For why should you
  die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in
  the death of one who dies, says the Lord GOD.
  Therefore turn and live
