Yehezkiel 11:19-21

11:19 I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; ¹  I will remove the hearts of stone from their bodies ²  and I will give them tender hearts, ³  11:20 so that they may follow my statutes and observe my regulations and carry them out. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God. ⁴  11:21 But those whose hearts are devoted to detestable things and abominations, I hereby repay them for what they have done, ⁵  says the sovereign Lord.”
