Repentance is Internal & External
The verse calls for a complete transformation. Commentators explain this involves forsaking both the outward "way" (sinful actions and lifestyle) and the inward "thoughts" (sinful desires, plans, and self-righteous attitudes). True repentance, as scholars like John Calvin note, begins with a change of heart that then produces a changed life.
