Prayer of Manasseh 8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ Therefore thou, O Lord, God of the righteous,
    hast not appointed repentance for the righteous,
for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who did not sin against thee,
    but thou hast appointed repentance for me, who am a sinner.

⁹ For the sins I have committed are more in number than the sand of the sea;
    my transgressions are multiplied, O Lord, they are multiplied!
I am unworthy to look up and see the height of heaven
    because of the multitude of my iniquities.
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.
