Prayer of Manasses 1:8 — compare Bible translations

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) You,[fn] Oh master, according to your great goodness have promised repentance and forgiveness to those who’ve sinned against you. Of your infinite mercies, you’ve appointed repentance to sinners, that they may be saved. You therefore, Oh master, who are the god of the just, haven’t appointed repentance to the just, to Avraham, Yitshak, and Ya’akov, which haven’t sinned against you, but you’ve appointed repentance to me, a sinner.
