The sin, which I have committed, I know not.
The iniquity, which I have done, I know not.
The offence, which I committed, I know not.
The transgression I have done, I know not.
The lord, in the anger of his heart, hath looked
upon me.
The god, in the wrath of his heart, hath visited me.
The goddess hath become angry with me, and
hath grievously stricken me.
The known or unknown god hath straightened
me.
The known or unknown goddess hath brought affliction
upon me.
I sought for help, but no one taketh my hand.
I wept, but no one came to my side.
May the known and unknown god be pacified!
May the known and unknown goddess be pacified!
