Isa. 59.12. Ezr. 9.6.
Our trespasses against us show,
our sins we cannot chuse but know:
For they are swollen above our head,
and are unto the Heavens spread.
Luke 15.18.
O Father we have grievously
offended Thee, that dwell'st on high;
Unworthy to be own'd therefore,
as thy dear Children any more.
Ezra 9.13. Ezek. 18.32.
Yet hast thou never punish'd sin,
so much as our deserts have been:
Nor is the death of him that dies
a matter pleasing in thine eyes.
Neh. 9.27. Ezek. 13.32.
For thou art unto anger slow,
and dost with grace and mercy flow:
Thou art most ready to forgive,
therefore let us return and live.
