The Contemporary English Version is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Contemporary English Version has been described as a "user-friendly" and a "mission-driven" translation that can be read aloud without stumbling, heard without misunderstanding, and listened to with enjoyment and appreciation, because the language is contemporary and the style is lucid and lyrical.

Sin has made you fall. Return to the LORD and say, “Please forgive our sins. Accept our good sacrifices of praise instead of bulls. Assyria can’t save us, and chariots can’t help. So we will no longer worship the idols we have made. Our LORD, you show mercy to orphans.”
