²¹ And the wicked -- when he turneth back From all his sins that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth not die.

¹⁶ Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.

¹⁷ Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive `for' the widow.

¹³ Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.

²³ And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
