Prayer of Manasseh

Prayer of Manasseh 1:10

κατακαμπτόμενος πολλῷ δεσμῷ σιδηρῷ εἰς τὸ μὴ ἀνανεῦσαί με· ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου οὐκ ἔστιν μοι ἄνεσις· διότι παρώργισα τὸν θυμόν σου καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα, οὐ ποιήσας τὸ θέλημά σου, οὐδὲ φυλάξας τὰς ἐντολάς σου· ἔστησα βδελύγματα καὶ ἐπλήθυνα προσοχθίσματα.
King James Version (KJV)

I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.

Modern English

I am weighed down with many iron chains so that I cannot lift my head, and there is no relief from my sins; for I provoked your wrath and did evil in your sight — I did not do your will, nor keep your commandments; I set up abominations and multiplied offenses.
