Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,

How you hate honest judges!
How you despise people who tell the truth!
11You trample the poor,
stealing their grain through taxes and unfair rent.

Lord God my Father,
Give me power over the nature I have developed and restore me to the nature you placed in me. Allow me to see the evil around me and protect me from it landing on me.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
