TSK · Isaiah 64:6

If a leprosie breake out abrode in the skynne, and couer all the skynne from his head to his foote wheresoeuer the priest loketh,

Who can make it cleane that commeth of an vncleane thing? no bodye.

But how may a man compared vnto God, be iustified? or how can he be cleane that is borne of a woman?

The same voyce spake: Nowe crye. And the prophete aunswered, What shall I crye? That all fleshe is grasse, and that all the goodlinesse therof is as the floure of the fielde.

Heare me O ye that are of an hye stomacke, but farre from righteousnesse:

For why woulde no man receaue me when I came? and when I called, no man gaue me aunswere?

O wretched man that I am: Who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?

And be founde in hym, not hauyng myne owne ryghteousnesse which is of the lawe: but that which is through the fayth of Christ, the ryghteousnes which commeth of God through fayth:

Agayne, the riche, in that he is made lowe: Because as the flowre of the grasse he shall passe away.

Because thou sayest, I am riche and increased with goodes, and haue neede of nothyng: & knowest not howe that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poore, and blynde, and naked.
