Had it not been for these 3 verses, the legs of
the enemies of Israel, a euphemism for Israel itself,
would have collapsed, as Israel would
have been unable to withstand God's judgment.
The 3 Verses:
the enemies of Israel, a euphemism for Israel itself,
would have collapsed, as Israel would
have been unable to withstand God's judgment.
The 3 Verses:
| 1 | Those whom I have dealt in wickedness. |
| 2 | Behold, like clay in the potter's hand,
so are you in My hand, house of Israel. |
| 3 | And I will give you a new heart
and a new spirit I will place within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. |
| These 3 verses indicate that God influences
a person's decisions, and therefore one does not have sole responsibility for his actions. Or instead #4. | |
| 4 | And I will place My spirit within you
and I will cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will observe My decrees and do them. |
