23 Return to the Lord, and turn away from your injustice, and have immense hatred for abomination.
24 And acknowledge the justices and judgments of God, and stand firm in the circumstances set before you and in prayer to the most high God.
25 Go to the side of the holy generation, to those who live in order to give praise to God.
26 You should not linger in the error of the impious; confess before death. Confession perishes from the dead as if it were nothing.
27 Confess while living; you should give thanks while you are still alive and healthy. And you should praise God and glory in his compassion.
28 How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his forgiveness, for those who convert to him!
29 For not all things can be in men, because the son of man is not immortal, and because they are pleased by the emptiness of malice.
