Jeremiah

Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and

say: ‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the LORD; ‘I will not cause My anger to

fall on you. For I am merciful,’ says

the LORD; I will not remain angry forever.

Jeremiah

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to

salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death

2 Corinthians 7:10

Marks Of Repentance

12

 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal,  what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

2 Corinthians 7:11
