28 “But as soon as they were at rest, they would again do what is bad before you,+ and you would leave them to the hand of their enemies, who would tread them down.+ Then they would return and call to you for aid,+ and you yourself would hear from the very heavens+ and deliver them in accord with your abundant mercy, time and again.+

10 For sadness in a godly way makes for repentance* to salvation that is not to be regretted;+ but the sadness of the world produces death.+
