Jewish Prayer of Great Forgiveness

What are we? What is our life? What is our mercy, our righteousness, our deliverance?

What is our valour? What shall we say before your face, our God and God

of our fathers?

Are not all the mighty as nothing before you?

And are not the wise without knowledge and the learned without

discernment?

For most of their deeds are chaos and the days of their life are empty

before thee;

And the advantage of man over beast is nothing, for all is vanity
