Prayer of Manasseh 10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,
so that I am rejected[a] because of my sins,
and I have no relief,
for I have provoked your wrath
and have done what is evil in your sight,
setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.(A)
Supplication for Pardon
11 And now I bend the knee of my heart,
imploring you for your kindness.
12 I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned,
and I acknowledge my transgressions.(B)
Footnotes
- 10 Other ancient authorities read so that I cannot lift up my head
