clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities
and from all your idols. I will give you a new
heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove
from you your heart of stone and give you a
heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and
move you to follow my decrees and be careful to
keep my laws. Ezek 36:23-25
