31 Throw off from yourselves all YOUR transgressions in which YOU have transgressed+ and make for yourselves a new heart+ and a new spirit,+ for why should YOU die,+ O house of Israel?’

9 Jehovah* is not slow respecting his promise,+ as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.*+
