    and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

    fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
    It will be healing to your flesh
    and refreshment to your bones.
  • For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.
