[Is] Ephraimª my dearª son?ª [is he] a pleasantª child?ª for¹ sinceª¹ I spakeª° against him, I do earnestly²° rememberª° him still:¹ therefore¹¹ my bowelsª are troubledª° for him; I will surely²° have mercyª° upon him, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:18-20} + "If they shall confessª°¹ their iniquity,ª and the iniquityª of their fathers,ª with their trespassª which¹ they trespassedª° against me, and that¹ also¹ they have walkedª° contraryª unto¹ me; ... Then will I rememberª°¹ my covenantª with Jacob,ª and also¹¹ my covenantª with Isaac,ª and also¹¹ my covenantª with Abrahamª will I remember;ª° and I will rememberª° the land.ª" {Lev 26:40-42} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ all¹ these¹ thingsª are comeª° upon¹ thee, the blessingª and the curse,ª which¹ I have setª° beforeª thee, and thou shalt callª° [them] to¹ mindª among all¹ the nations,ª whither¹¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath drivenª° thee, ... That then the LORDª thy Godª will turnª°¹ thy captivity,ª and have compassionª° upon thee, and will returnª° and gatherª° thee from all¹¹ the nations,ª whither¹¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath scatteredª° thee." {Deu 30:1-3} + "He lookethª° upon¹ men,²¹ and [if any] say,ª° I have sinned,ª° and pervertedª° [that which was] right,ª and it profitedª° me not;¹ ... He will deliverª° his soulª from goingª°¹ into the pit,ª and his lifeª shall seeª° the light.ª" {Job 33:27-28} + "He that coverethª° his sinsª shall not¹ prosper:ª° but whoso confessethª° and forsakethª° [them] shall have mercy.ª°" {Prv 28:13} + "I will ariseª° and goª° toª myª father,ª andª will sayª° unto him,ª Father,ª I have sinnedª° againstª heaven,ª andª beforeª thee,ª ...

Ifª we sayª° thatª we have²° notª sinned,ª° we makeª° himª a liar,ª andª his²¹ wordª isª° notª inª us.ª" {1Jn 1:8-10}
