Sirach 17:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ However, for those who changed their hearts and minds, God granted a way back, and he encouraged those
who were abandoning hope.

²⁵ Turn back to the Lord
and leave sin behind;
    offer prayers in his presence,
    and reduce your offense.
²⁶ Return to the Most High,
and turn from injustice,^[a]
    and hate what he detests.
