Luke 18:13

And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
