Prayer of Manasseh 9–10

⁹For the sins I have committed are more in number than the sand of the sea;

my transgressions are multiplied, O Lord, they are multiplied!

I am unworthy to look up and see the height of heaven

because of the multitude of my iniquities.

¹⁰I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,

so that I am rejected because of my sins,

and I have no relief;

for I have provoked thy wrath

and have done what is evil in thy sight,

setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.
