The term conversion would be etymologically closer (Blenkinsopp 84) By the charge of acting without principle (verses 25 and 29), the Israelites accused God of punishing the innocent along with the guilty.

This really signifies that His mercy is the highest
Personal Power Though the figure and invocation of God is of course central to the power and purpose of Ezekiel's prophecies against the foreign nations, and indeed in all of his prophecies as a whole, there is also necessarily a great deal of personal power in the voice and words of the prophet. Without this, his exhortations and condemnations would not be heard or heeded. This leads to a third possibility
