⁶ Seek the Lord while he still may be found;
    call to him when he is close at hand.
⁷ Let the wicked abandon their ways
    and those who are evil their thoughts.
Let them return to the Lord
    so that he may have mercy upon them;
and to our God,
    for he is rich in forgiveness.
⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
