“This is why the Lord says, ‘Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.’ Return to the Lord you God, for He is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.” (vv. 12-13, NLT)
