8 Now do not stiffen YOUR neck+ as YOUR forefathers did. Give place* to Jehovah+ and come to his sanctuary+ that he has sanctified+ to time indefinite and serve+ Jehovah YOUR God, that his burning anger+ may turn back from YOU.

8 and that nation actually turns back from its badness against which I spoke,+ I will also feel regret over the calamity that I had thought to execute upon it.+

9 Who is there knowing whether the [true] God may turn back and actually feel regret+ and turn back from his burning anger, so that we may not perish?”+

3 seek Jehovah,+ all YOU meek* ones of the earth,+ who have practiced His own judicial decision.* Seek righteousness,+ seek meekness.*+ Probably*+ YOU may be concealed* in the day of Jehovah’s anger.+
