“ Suppose someone says to God,‘ I am guilty but will offend no more.

“ Someone might say to God,‘ I’m guilty of sinning, but I won’t do it anymore.

“ For has anyone said to God,‘ I have borne punishment; I will not offend any more;

“ Why don’t people say to God,‘ I have sinned, but I will sin no more’?

Suppose someone says to God,“ I have endured my punishment; I will no longer act wickedly.

“ For has anyone said to God,‘ I have endured punishment; I will not offend anymore;

“ For has anyone said to God,‘ I have borne chastening; I will offend no more;

For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

Suppose someone says to God,“ I have endured my punishment; I will no longer act wickedly.

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne[ chastisement], I will not offend[ any more]:

“ For has any said to God,‘ I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.

That person sings to others, saying:‘ I have sinned and falsified what is right, but I was not punished according to what I deserved.

I must endure the LORD’s anger, for I have sinned against him. But then he will defend my cause, and accomplish justice on my behalf. He will lead me out into the light; I will experience firsthand his deliverance.

Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes!

Then Job answered the LORD:“ Indeed, I am completely unworthy– how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more.”

You are righteous with regard to all that has happened to us, for you have acted faithfully. It is we who have been in the wrong!Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our ancestors have not kept your law. They have not paid attention to your commandments or your testimonies by which you have solemnly admonished them.Even when they were in their kingdom and benefiting from your incredible goodness that you had lavished on them in the spacious and fertile land you had set before them, they did not serve you, nor did they turn from their evil practices.“ So today we are slaves! In the very land you gave to our ancestors to eat its fruit and to enjoy its good things– we are slaves!Its abundant produce goes to the kings you have placed over us due to our sins. They rule over our bodies and our livestock as they see fit, and we are in great distress!( 10: 1)“ Because of all of this we are entering into a binding covenant in written form; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests have affixed their names on the sealed document.”

“ You are righteous, O Lord, but we are humiliated this day– the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.O LORD, we have been humiliated– our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors– because we have sinned against you.Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.We have not obeyed the LORD our God by living according to his laws that he set before us through his servants the prophets.“ All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.He has carried out his threats against us and our rulers who were over us by bringing great calamity on us– what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom from your reliable moral standards.The LORD was mindful of the calamity, and he brought it on us. For the LORD our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed him.

“ Everything that has happened to us has come about because of our wicked actions and our great guilt. Even so, our God, you have exercised restraint toward our iniquities and have given us a remnant such as this.Shall we once again break your commandments and intermarry with these abominable peoples? Would you not be so angered by us that you would wipe us out, with no survivor or remnant?

I have indeed heard the people of Israel say mournfully,‘ We were like a calf untrained to the yoke. You disciplined us and we learned from it. Let us come back to you and we will do so, for you are the LORD our God.For after we turned away from you we repented. After we came to our senses we beat our breasts in sorrow. We are ashamed and humiliated because of the disgraceful things we did previously.’

( and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for their iniquity,
