Scindite corda vestra, et non vestimenta vestra:
et convertimini ad Dominum Deum vestrum,
quia benignus, et misericors, patiens,
et multae misericordiae, et praestabilis super malitia.

Rent your heart, and not your clothes:
and turn unto the Lord your God,
for he is gracious, and merciful, slow to anger,
and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

(Geneva Bible)
