15 The children of Israel said to Yahweh, We have sinned: do you to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, we pray you, this day.
Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. He said, It is Yahweh: let him do what seems him good.
but if he say thus, I have no delight in you; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seems good to him.
Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Yahweh do that which seems him good.
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.
He sings before men, and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it didn't profit me.
He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, But whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
