In order to receive God’s mercy, a wrongdoer must manifest heartfelt repentance, made evident by his return to something “higher, ” that is, to an elevated form of worship. His actions should be in harmony with God’s high standards. ​ — Hosea 7: 16, footnote.
Lai izjustu Dieva žēlastību, pārkāpējam no sirds jānožēlo sava rīcība un tas jāapliecina, atgriežoties pie tīrās pielūgsmes un dzīvojot saskaņā ar Dieva augstajām normām.
