I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
