14 and my people+ upon whom my name+ has been called humble+ themselves and pray+ and seek my face+ and turn back from their bad ways,+ then I myself shall hear from the heavens+ and forgive their sin,+ and I shall heal their land.+

13 He that is covering over his transgressions will not succeed,+ but he that is confessing and leaving [them] will be shown mercy.+

13 But the tax collector standing at a distance was not willing even to raise his eyes heavenward, but kept beating his breast,+ saying, ‘O God, be gracious to me a sinner.’+

9 If we confess our sins,+ he is faithful and righteous so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.+
