⁷ Wicked people need to change the way that they live.
    Evil people must stop thinking their evil thoughts.
They must turn back to the Lord our God,
    because he will be kind to them.
Yes, God will completely forgive them,
    if they turn back to him.
⁸ The Lord says,
‘Remember! My thoughts are not the same as your thoughts.
    The way that you do things is not the same as the way that I do things.
⁹ The sky is far higher than the earth.
In the same way, I do things in a much better way than you do.
    Also, my thoughts are much higher than your thoughts.
