Notes
Zophar outlined three conditions for restoration (11:15):
Direct your heart. This is an internal action beyond mere ceremony.
Lift up your hands. This is a symbolic gesture of prayer, appeal, or act of surrendering (Exodus 9:29; Proverbs 1:24; Isaiah 1:15).
Put away the iniquity. This is not through sacrifice and regret, but by quitting the sin in view (compare Hebrews 11:6; James 4:8; 5:16).
