Isaiah 59:12

For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

KJV

Multiplicatæ sunt enim iniquitates nostræ coram te, et peccata nostra responderunt nobis, quia scelera nostra nobiscum et iniquitates nostras cognovimus.

Vulgate

πολλὴ γὰρ ἡμῶν ἡ ἀνομία ἐναντίον σου, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἡμῶν ἀντέστησαν ἡμῖν· αἱ γὰρ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ τὰ ἀδικήματα ἡμῶν ἔγνωμεν·

LXX

For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:

ASV

כִּֽי רַבּ֤וּ פְשָׁעֵ֨י/נוּ֙ נֶגְדֶּ֔/ךָ וְ/חַטֹּאותֵ֖י/נוּ עָ֣נְתָה בָּ֑/נוּ כִּֽי פְשָׁעֵ֣י/נוּ אִתָּ֔/נוּ וַ/עֲוֺנֹתֵ֖י/נוּ יְדַֽעֲנֽוּ/ם
