Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that {there is} neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
