Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
