Prayer of Manasseh 10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰ I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,
    so that I am rejected because of my sins,
    and I have no relief;
for I have provoked thy wrath
    and have done what is evil in thy sight,
    setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.

¹¹ And now I bend the knee of my heart,
    beseeching thee for thy kindness.
¹² I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned,
    and I know my transgressions.
