- We have sinned:
- "And said,ª° O my God,ª I am ashamedª° and blushª° to lift upª° my faceª to¹ thee, my God:ª for¹ our iniquitiesª are increasedª° overª [our] head,ª and our trespassª is grown upª° unto¹ the heavens.ª ... Since the daysª¹ of our fathersª [have] we¹ [been] in a greatª trespassª unto¹ this¹ day;ª and for our iniquitiesª have we,¹ our kings,ª [and] our priests,ª been deliveredª° into the handª of the kingsª of the lands,ª to the sword,ª to captivity,ª and to a spoil,ª and to confusionª of face,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Ezr 9:6-7} + "Let thine earª now¹ be¹ attentive,ª and thine eyesª open,ª° that thou mayest hearª°¹ the prayerª of thy servant,ª which¹ I¹ prayª° beforeª thee now,ª dayª and night,ª for¹ the childrenª of Israelª thy servants,ª and confessª°¹ the sinsª of the childrenª of Israel,ª which¹ we have sinnedª° against thee: both I¹ and my father'sª houseª have sinned.ª°" {Neh 1:6} + "Nevertheless they were disobedient,ª° and rebelledª° against thee, and castª°¹ thy lawª behindª their backs,ª and slewª° thy prophetsª which¹ testifiedª° against them to turnª° them to¹ thee, and they wroughtª° greatª provocations.ª ... Yet manyª yearsª didst thou forbearª°¹ them, and testifiedstª° against them by thy spiritª inª thy prophets:ª yet would they not¹ give ear:ª° therefore gavestª° thou them into the handª of the peopleª of the lands.ª" {Neh 9:26-30} + "He lookethª° upon¹ men,²¹ and [if any] say,ª° I have sinned,ª° and pervertedª° [that which was] right,ª and it profitedª° me not;¹ ... He will deliverª° his soulª from goingª°¹ into the pit,ª and his lifeª shall seeª° the light.ª" {Job 33:27-28} + "We have sinnedª° with¹ our fathers,ª we have committed iniquity,ª° we have done wickedly.ª°" {Psa 106:6} + "But we are¹ all¹ as an uncleanª [thing], and all¹ our righteousnessesª [are] as filthyª rags;ª and we all¹ do fadeª°°²° as a leaf;ª and our iniquities,ª like the wind,ª have taken us away.ª° ... Wilt thou refrain²° thyself¹ for¹ these¹ [things], O LORD?ª wilt thou hold thy peace,ª° and afflictª° us very sore?ª¹" {Isa 64:6-12} + "Goª° and proclaimª°¹ these¹ wordsª toward the north,ª and say,ª° Return,ª° thou backslidingª Israel,ª saithª° the LORD;ª [and] I will not¹ cause mine angerª to fallª° upon you: for¹ I¹ [am] merciful,ª saithª° the LORD,ª [and] I will not¹ keepª° [anger] for ever.ª ... Turn,ª° O backslidingª children,ª saithª° the LORD;ª for¹ I¹ am marriedª° unto you: and I will takeª° you oneª of a city,ª¹ and twoª of a family,ª¹ and I will bringª° you to Zion:ª" {Jer 3:12-14} + "I have surely²° heardª° Ephraimª bemoaning²° himself¹ [thus]; Thou hast chastisedª° me, and I was chastised,ª° as a bullockª unaccustomedªª° [to the yoke]: turnª° thou me, and I shall be turned;ª° for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª my God.ª ... [Is] Ephraimª my dearª son?ª [is he] a pleasantª child?ª for¹ sinceª¹ I spakeª° against him, I do earnestly²° rememberª° him still:¹ therefore¹¹ my bowelsª are troubledª° for him; I will surely²° have mercyª° upon him, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:18-20} + "We have sinned,ª° and have committed iniquity,ª° and have done wickedly,ª° and have rebelled,ª° even by departingª° from thy preceptsª¹ and from thy judgments:ª¹ ... Yea, all¹ Israelª have transgressedª°¹ thy law,ª even by departing,ª° that they might not¹ obeyª° thy voice;ª therefore the curseª is pouredª° upon¹ us, and the oathª that¹ [is] writtenª° in the lawª of Mosesª the servantª of God,ª because¹ we have sinnedª° against him." {Dan 9:5-11} + "I will ariseª° and goª° toª myª father,ª andª will sayª° unto him,ª Father,ª I have sinnedª° againstª heaven,ª andª beforeª thee,ª ... Andª amª° no moreª worthyª to be calledª° thyª son:ª makeª° meª asª oneª of thyª hired servants.ª" {Lke 15:18-19}
