⁶³ that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

⁷ Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.

⁸ Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.

⁹ I was mute. I didn't open my mouth, Because you did it.

³¹ Then shall you remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

³² Nor for your sake do I [this], says the Lord Yahweh, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.

³ For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

⁵ not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

⁶ which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

³ among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

⁵ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

⁷ For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

¹⁹ You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"

²⁰ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

¹ Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

² through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

²⁷ Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

¹ Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

⁶¹ Then shall you remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder [sisters] and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

³⁹ Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

⁹ Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.

³ Sins overwhelmed me, But you atoned for our transgressions.

⁴ "Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

⁵ I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

⁶ and I said, my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up to the heavens.
