Job 9:15

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
