8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance
32 I came not to call [the] righteous, but sinners to repentance.
13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes [them] shall attain mercy.
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
3 I tell you, No; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
30 For the times of this ignorance God overlooked, but [he] now commands all men everywhere to repent
32 For I do not desire the death of him that dies, said the Lord GOD; therefore turn [yourselves], and ye shall live.:
23 Return at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
19 Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, for the times of refreshing of the presence of the Lord are come;
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2 For the king had taken counsel with his princes and with all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because there were not enough priests sanctified, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem because for a long [time] they had not done it as it is written.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye sons of Israel, return unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who rebelled against the LORD God of their fathers and he gave them over to desolation, as ye see.
8 Therefore, do not be stiffnecked as your fathers [were], [but] yield yourselves unto the LORD and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9 For if ye return unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] mercy before those that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land, for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful and will not turn away [his] face from you if ye return unto him.
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.
11 Nevertheless, [some] men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, according to the word of the LORD.
13 And many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and they [also] took away all the altars for incense and cast [them] into the Brook Kidron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month, and the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves with shame and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16 And they put themselves in order according to the ordinance, according to the law of Moses, the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hands of the Levites.
17 For [there were] yet many in the congregation that were not sanctified; therefore, the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for each one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the LORD.
18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover not as it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon each one
19 [that] has prepared his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, even though [he is] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
21 Thus, the sons of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the solemnity of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness, and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD, day by day, with instruments of strength unto the LORD.
22 And Hezekiah spoke unto the heart of all the Levites that had good understanding to [serve] the LORD, and they ate [the sacrifices] of the feast for seven days, offering sacrifices of peace and giving thanks unto the LORD God of their fathers.
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept [another] seven days with gladness.
24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, had given to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep, and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep, and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel [there was] not the like in Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to the dwelling place of his sanctuary, unto heaven.:
13 and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God for he [is] gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in mercy, and he does repent of chastisement.
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel.
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,
2 The LORD has been sore displeased with your fathers.
3 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Turn unto me, said the LORD of the hosts, and I will turn unto you, said the LORD of the hosts.
4 Do not be as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Turn now from your evil ways and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, said the LORD.
5 Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? Therefore they returned [from captivity] and said, Like as the LORD of the hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us.
7 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which [is] the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that [were] in the bottom; and behind him [there were] red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee who these [are].
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These [are those] whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees and said, We have walked to and fro through the land, and, behold, all the earth sits still and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of the hosts, when wilt thou have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?
13 And the LORD answered good words unto the angel that talked with me, words of consolation.
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of the hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the Gentiles [that are] at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Therefore thus hath the LORD said, I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in her, saith the LORD of the hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of the hosts, My cities through abundance of good shall yet be widened; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw and behold four horns.
19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these? And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
21 Then I said, What [do] these come to do? And he spoke, saying, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no one lifted up his head, but these are come to cause them to tremble, to cut down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.:
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent.
14 if my people, upon whom my name is invoked, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
13 Therefore go ye and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
9 The Lord is not late concerning his promise, as some count lateness, but is patient with us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
7 I say unto you that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.
