Behold, I am vile; what
shall I answer thee? I will lay
mine hand upon my mouth. Once have I spoken; but
I will not answer: yea, twice; but
I will proceed no further.
(Job 40:4,5)
Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to thy
lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from
mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
my sin. For I acknowledge my
transgressions: and my sin is ever
before me. Against thee, thee only,
have I sinned, and done this evil
in thy sight: that thou mightest
be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest.
(Psalm 51:1-4)
Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me, and
I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and
gladness; that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my
sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities. Create in me a clean
heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me. Cast me not away from
thy presence; and take not thy
holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy free spirit. Then will I teach
transgressors thy ways; and
sinners shall be converted unto
thee. Deliver me from
bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God
of my salvation: and my tongue
shall sing aloud of thy
righteousness. O Lord, open thou my
lips; and my mouth shall shew
forth thy praise. For thou desirest not
sacrifice; else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt
offering. The sacrifices of God
are a broken spirit: a broken and
a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt
not despise.
(Psalm 51:7-17)
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.
(Isaiah 6:5)
Behold, O LORD; for I
am in distress: my bowels are
troubled; mine heart is turned
within me; for I have grievously
rebelled: abroad the sword
bereaveth, at home there is as
death.
(Lamentations 1:20)
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell
at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away
from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"
(Luke 5:8)
When the people heard this, they
were cut to the heart and said to
Peter and the other apostles,
"Brothers, what shall we do?"
(Acts 2:37)
And he trembling and
astonished said, Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do? And the Lord
said unto him, Arise, and go into
the city, and it shall be told
thee what thou must do.
(Acts 9:6)
Since they show that the
requirements of the law are
written on their hearts, their
consciences also bearing witness,
and their thoughts now accusing,
now even defending them.)
(Romans 2:15)
24But if an unbeliever or
someone who does not understand
comes in while everybody is
prophesying, he will be convinced
by all that he is a sinner and
will be judged by all,
25and the secrets of his
heart will be laid bare. So he
will fall down and worship God,
exclaiming, "God is really among
you!"
(1 Corinthians 14:24,25)
