Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Let those who do wrong abandon their bad ways, and let those who are unfair change their thinking. Let them come back to the LORD, and he will show them mercy. Come back to our God, because he will completely forgive them.
God is calling people to turn away from their wrong ways and come back to him, promising complete mercy and forgiveness to anyone who does.
