I have sinned;

what shall I do unto thee,

O thou preserver of men?

why hast thou set me as a

mark against thee,

so that I am a burden to myself?

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression,

and take away my iniquity?

for now shall I sleep

in the dust;

and thou shalt seek me in the morning,

but I shall not be.

JOB 7:20-21
