  • 2 Chr 33:10-19 : 10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen. 11 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh among the thorns, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in distress, he sought the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 And he prayed to him, and he was entreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God. 14 After this, he built a wall outside the city of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, reaching the entrance of the Fish Gate, and encircled Ophel, raising it to a great height, and put commanders of war in all the fortified cities of Judah. 15 And he removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars he had built on the hill of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel. 17 Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, are written in the book of the kings of Israel. 19 Also his prayer, how God was entreated of him, all his sin and trespass, and the places where he built high places and set up groves and carved images, before he humbled himself, are written among the sayings of the seers.
  • Isa 1:16-19 : 16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
  • Isa 55:6-7 : 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

  • Ezek 18:28-32 : 28 Because he considers and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 29 Yet says the house of Israel, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ O house of Israel, are not My ways equal? Are not your ways unequal? 30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord GOD: therefore turn yourselves, and live.

  • Eph 2:1-9 : 1 And you He has made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 In which in times past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conduct in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) 6 And raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Therefore, remember that you being in times past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.
