But if you earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,
As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer –
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.
See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
Even if I were in the right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
