25 Turn back to the Lord and forsake your sins; pray in his presence and lessen your offense.

Ben Sira 17:25 In-Context

23 Afterward he will rise up and repay them, and he will bring their recompense on their heads.

24 Yet to those who repent he grants a return, and he encourages those who are losing hope.

25 Turn back to the Lord and forsake your sins; pray in his presence and lessen your offense.

26 Return to the Most High and turn away from iniquity, and hate intensely what he abhors.

27 Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades in place of the living who give thanks?
