Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number. 33 How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women you have taught your ways. 34 Even on your skirts is found the blood of the innocent poor. You did not find them breaking in, yet it is because of all these things. 35 Yet you say, 'I am innocent; surely his anger has turned away from me.' But I will bring you to judgment because you say, 'I have not sinned.'

He would not even look up to heaven but beat his chest and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' 14 'I tell you that this man went home justified before God rather than the other. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.'
