Prayer
Language: English
Thus says the lord: I wish not the death of the wicked but that he repent and live. Turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die? Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. O man, I have told thee what is good, be just, have mercy, walk humbly before thy god, then I will bring thee to my holy mountain, make thee joyful in my house of the prayer. Then I shall accept thy token on my altar, then my cathedral shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. Amen.
