47. We have been disgusting to you because of our sins. • We have gone away from Your path, instead of coming close to You. • You have let us go away from Your path, You gave us the freedom to choose between right and wrong. • We have turned away from You, and Your commands, and from Your beautiful laws, but it was all for nothing and no good came of it. • You are fair in everything that happens to us, because You have acted with truth, and we have done evil.

48. What can we say to You, You, Who are in Heaven, What can we tell You, You, Who are up High, Everything that is hidden and not hidden, You know.

49. Al Cheit • You know the secrets of the universe, all the hidden mysteries, of all living things. You search in all the hidden places, studying our thoughts and feelings. Nothing is hidden from You, Nothing is unseen from Your Eyes. • And so, may You choose to forgive us for all our mistakes, excuse us for all our sins that we did on purpose, atone for us for all our sins that we did rebelliously against You.

50. For the sin we have committed in front of You even if we were forced to do it, • We said we were forced, but we really should not have done it. • For the sin we have committed in front of You because our heart was hardened, • We were stubborn and would not admit we were wrong. • For the sin we have committed in front of You because we did not know better, • We should have studied and known better.
