Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

So you should look for the Lord before it is too late;
    you should call to him while he is near.
The wicked should stop doing wrong,
    and they should stop their evil thoughts.
They should return to the Lord so he may have mercy on them.
    They should come to our God, because he will freely forgive them.
