'Change' in the Bible
"Change your ways and your deeds, and I'll let you live in this place. Don't trust deceptive words like these, and say, "The Temple of the LORD, the Temple of the LORD, the Temple of the LORD,'
but rather, truly change your ways and your deeds. If you truly practice justice between each person and his neighbor,
Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots? Then you who are trained to do evil will also be able to do good.
I'll winnow them with a winnowing fork in the gates of the land. I'll make them childless. I'll destroy my people, for they didn't change their ways.
But if that nation about which I spoke turns from its evil way, I'll change my mind about the disaster that I had planned for it.
But if that nation does evil in my eyes by not obeying me, I'll change my mind about the good that I said I would bring on it.
Perhaps they'll listen, and each of them will repent from his evil way. Then I'll change my mind about the disaster I'm planning to bring on them because of their evil deeds.
Now, change your habits and your deeds and obey the LORD your God, and the LORD will change his mind about the disaster that he told you about.
