Prayer of Manasseh

Prayer of Manasseh 1:8

σύ, κύριε, ὁ θεὸς τῶν δικαίων, οὐκ ἔθου μετάνοιαν δικαίοις, τῷ Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ιακωβ τοῖς οὐχ ἡμαρτηκόσιν σοι, ἀλλ' ἔθου μετάνοιαν ἐμοὶ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ·
King James Version (KJV)

Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner:

Modern English

You, O Lord, God of the righteous, have not appointed repentance for the righteous — for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob who did not sin against you — but you have appointed repentance for me, who am a sinner;
