20 Their wrongs are not hidden from him,and all their sins are exposedin the Lord’s presence.
22 A person’s acts of charityare like a seal with him,and he will treasure a person’s generosity like the apple of his eye.
23 Afterward God will rise upand repay them;he will deliver their repaymentupon their heads.
24 However, for those who changed their hearts and minds, God granted a way back, and he encouraged thosewho were abandoning hope.
25 Turn back to the Lordand leave sin behind;offer prayers in his presence,and reduce your offense.
26 Return to the Most High,and turn from injustice,and hate what he detests.
27 Who will praise the Most Highin the graveinstead of the livingand those who give thanks?
