19. All their works are as the sun before him; And his eyes are continually upon their ways.
20. Their iniquities are not hid from him; And all their sins are before the Lord.
22. With him the alms of a man is as a signet; And he will keep the bounty of a man as the apple of the eye.
23. Afterwards he will rise up and recompense them, And render their recompense upon their head.
24. Howbeit to them that repent he granteth a return; And he comforteth them that are losing patience.
25. Return to the Lord, and forsake sins: Make your prayer before his face, and lessen the offence.
26. Turn again to the Most High, and turn away from iniquity; And greatly hate the abominable thing.
27. Who shall give praise to the Most High in the grave, Instead of them which live and return thanks?
28. Thanksgiving perishes from the dead, as from one that is not: He that is in life and health shall praise the Lord.
29. How great is the mercy of the Lord, And his forgiveness to them that turn to him!
30. For all things can’t be in men, Because the son of man is not immortal.
31. What is brighter than the sun? yet this fails: And an evil man will think on flesh and blood.
