25. Turn back to the Lord and give up your sins,pray before him and make your offenses few.
26. Turn again to the Most High and away from iniquity,and hate intensely what he loathes.
27. Who in Sheol can glorify the Most Highin place of the living who offer their praise?
28. The dead can no more give praise than those who have never lived;they who are alive and well glorify the Lord.
