⁴ Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

¹⁸ having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee,

¹⁹ and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hirelings.

¹² and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

¹³ Only, know thine iniquity, For against Jehovah thy God thou hast transgressed, And thou dost scatter thy ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And to My voice thou hast not hearkened, An affirmation of Jehovah.
