⁶ Turn to the Lord before it’s too late.
    Call out to him while he’s still ready to help you.
⁷ Let those who are evil stop doing evil things.
    And let them quit thinking evil thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord.
    The Lord will show them his tender love.
Let them turn to our God.
    He is always ready to forgive.

⁸ “My thoughts are not like your thoughts.
    And your ways are not like my ways,”
    announces the Lord.
⁹ “The heavens are higher than the earth.
    And my ways are higher than your ways.
    My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
