Sirach 17:27

²⁵Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.

²⁶Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.

— Sirach 17:27 —

²⁸Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord.

²⁹How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!
