Throw away all the ways you've messed up and gone against me. Get yourself a fresh heart and a new spirit. Why would you choose to die when you don't have to, Israel?

So this evil spirit goes and brings back seven friends who are even worse than he is. They all move back in together, and now this person is in way worse shape than when it all started. That's exactly what's going to happen to this messed-up generation too.

Forgive us for the ways we've messed up, just like we forgive people who've hurt us.

But if you don't forgive people when they mess up and hurt you, your heavenly Father won't forgive you when you mess up either.
