5. You will call out to nationsyou have never known.And they have never known you,but they will come runningbecause I am the Lord,the holy God of Israel,and I have honoured you.

6. Turn to the Lord!He can still be found.Call out to God! He is near.

7. Give up your crooked waysand your evil thoughts.Return to the Lord our God.He will be mercifuland forgive your sins.
