Isaiah 55:6-7
6 a“Seek the Lord while he may be found;call upon him while he is near;
7let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

31 fCast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and gmake yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! hWhy will you die, O house of Israel? 32 iFor I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; jso turn, and live.” Zechariah 12:10
