20
Their iniquities are not hidden from him, and all their sins are before the Lord.
22
A man's almsgiving is like a signet with the Lord and he will keep a person's kindness like the apple of his eye.
23

24
Yet to those who repent he grants a return, and he encourages those whose endurance is failing.
