Isaiah 55:7

Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are to return to Yahweh with all your heart, then remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and set your hearts toward Yahweh and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”

But with You there is forgiveness, That You may be feared.

“Wash yourselves, purify yourselves; Remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes. Cease to do evil,

Return to Him against whom you have deeply rebelled, O sons of Israel.

“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.

“I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud And your sins like a cloud. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”

“Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a delightful child? Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him, I certainly still remember him; Therefore My inmost being yearns for him; I will surely have compassion on him,” declares Yahweh.

‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

“Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I devise to bring on them, in order that every man will turn from his evil way; then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Turn back and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

“Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has done and does justice and righteousness, he will preserve his life.

“Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Now why will you die, O house of Israel?

“Say to them, ‘As I live!’ declares Lord Yahweh, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’

“But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does justice and righteousness,

‘Therefore, O king, may my advice seem good to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’

“Seek Yahweh that you may live, Lest He come mightily like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,

“But both man and animal must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God with their strength that each may turn from his evil way and from the violence which is in his hands.

“Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray earnestly to the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you.
