⁹ Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings -- from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.

⁷ and He saith unto me: `Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings -- their high places.

³⁰ Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷ in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,
