Steps to Reconciliation

⁶“Seek the Lord while he^[a] may be found,
    call upon him while he is near.
⁷Let the wicked forsake his way,
    and the unrighteous person his thoughts.
Let him return to the Lord,
    So he’ll have mercy upon him,
and to our God,
    for he’ll pardon abundantly.
⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    nor are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
