22  ^aI have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud

and your sins like mist;

return to me, for I have redeemed you.

22  “Turn to me and be saved,

^hall the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

7  let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous man his thoughts;

let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,

and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
