Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit. For why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says lord LORD, therefore turn yourselves back, and live.

None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
