Prayer of Manasseh 5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ for your glorious splendour cannot be borne,
and the wrath of your threat to sinners is unendurable;
⁶ yet immeasurable and unsearchable
is your promised mercy,
⁷ for you are the Lord Most High,
of great compassion, long-suffering, and very merciful,
and you relent at human suffering.
O Lord, according to your great goodness
you have promised repentance and forgiveness
to those who have sinned against you,
and in the multitude of your mercies
you have appointed repentance for sinners,
so that they may be saved.^[a]
