- Now let:
- Rather, "Now shall they put away their whoredom and the carcases of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever." It is a prediction and promise, and not an exhortation. "Therefore¹ I will judgeª° you, O houseª of Israel,ª every oneª according to his ways,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª Repent,ª° and turnª° [yourselves] from all¹¹ your transgressions;ª so iniquityª shall not¹ be¹ your ruin.ª ... Cast awayª° from¹¹ you¹ all¹ your transgressions,ª whereby¹ ye have transgressed;ª° and makeª° you a newª heartª and a newª spirit:ª for why¹ will ye die,ª° O houseª of Israel?ª" {Ezk 18:30-31} + "Pleadª° with your mother,ª plead:ª° for¹ she¹ [is] not¹ my wife,ª neither¹ [am] I¹ her husband:ª let her therefore put awayª° her whoredomsª out of her sight,ª¹ and her adulteriesª from between¹¹ her breasts;ª" {Hsa 2:2} + "Mortifyª° thereforeª yourª membersª whichª are uponª the¹ earth;ª fornication,ª uncleanness,ª inordinate affection,ª evilª concupiscence,ª andª covetousness,ª whichª isª° idolatry:ª ... Lieª° notª one to another,ªª seeing that ye have put offª° the¹ oldª manª withª hisª deeds;ª" {Col 3:5-9}
