Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
6 要趁着还可以找到耶和华的时候寻找祂，
趁祂还在附近的时候求告祂。
7 愿邪恶的人停止作恶，
不义的人除掉恶念。
愿他们归向耶和华，
祂必怜悯他们；
愿他们归向我们的上帝，
祂必仁慈地赦免他们。
8 耶和华说：“我的意念并非你们的意念，
我的道路并非你们的道路。

and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.[f]
8 “Indeed,[g] my plans[h] are not like[i] your plans,
and my deeds[j] are not like[k] your deeds,” says the Lord,
