Ben Sira 17:25

25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins; make thy prayer before His face, and offend less.

Ben Sira 17:25 In-Context

23 Afterwards He will rise up and reward them, and render their recompense upon their heads.
24 But unto them that repent, He granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.
25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins; make thy prayer before His face, and offend less.
26 Turn again to the Most High, and turn away from iniquity; for He will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.
27 Who shall praise the Most High in the grave, instead of them that live and give thanks?
