20. Their iniquities cannot be hidden from him;all their sins are before the Lord.
22. Human goodness is like a signet ring with God,and virtue he keeps like the apple of his eye.
23. Later he will rise up and repay them,requiting each one as they deserve.
24. But to the penitent he provides a way backand encourages those who are losing hope!
25. Turn back to the Lord and give up your sins,pray before him and make your offenses few.
