3 I was grieved and wept, and prayed in sorrow, saying,

2 “O master, you’re righteous, and all your works and all your ways are mercy and truth, and you judge true and righteous judgement forever. 3 Remember me, and look at me. Don’t take vengeance on me for my sins and my ignorances, and the sins of my fathers who sinned before you. 4 Because they disobeyed your commandments. You gave us as plunder, for captivity, for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we’re dispersed. 5 Now your judgements are many and true, that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers, because we didn’t keep your commandments, for we didn’t walk in truth before you. 6 Now deal with me according to that which is pleasing in your sight. Command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be released, and become earth. Because it’s more profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I’ve heard false reproaches, and there’s much sorrow in me. Command that I be released from my distress, now, and go to the eternal place. Don’t turn your face away from me.”
