I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Repentance”. Surprisingly, only once mentioned in the old testament.

O death, I will be thy plagues;
O grave, I will be thy destruction:
repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

fruits meet for repentance:

but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,

he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:

not that ye were made sorry,

as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
