Confession Is Seeing Your Own Imperfection Not Of Others

The absence of confession gets you stuck or trapped in pride and arrogance; not acknowledging G-d’s goodness, mercy, compassion and abundant kindness toward you and others.

“Confession”

1 As fire burns materials that melt, fire causes water to bubble, to make Your name known to Your adversaries; nations would quake from before You.
2 When You performed awesome deeds for which we did not hope; [when] You descended, mountains dripped from before You.
3 And whereof no one had ever heard, had ever perceived by ear, no eye had ever seen a god besides You perform for him who hoped for him.
4 You smote him who rejoiced and worked righteousness, those who mentioned You in Your ways; behold, when You became wroth for we had sinned; through them, of old, we would be saved.
5 And we all have become like one unclean, and like a discarded garment are all our righteous deeds, and we all have withered like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
6 And no one calls in Your name, arouses himself to cling to You, when You hid Your countenance from us, and You caused us to wander through our iniquities.
7 And now, O Lord, You are our father; we are the clay, and You are our potter, and all of us are Your handiwork.
8 Be not wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and remember not iniquity forever; please look, all of us are Your people.
9 Your holy cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem a desolation.
10 Our sanctuary and our glory, wherein our forefathers praised You is burnt with fire, and all our coveted places have become a waste.
11 Concerning these will You restrain Yourself; will You remain silent and afflict us so very greatly?

Like the kindling of a melting fire — a fire that bubbles water — make Your Name known to Your enemies, so that nations would tremble before You,
64:1
When You performed awesome wonders that we had not expected, You descended and the mountains melted because of You.
64:2
[People] had never heard, never observed, no eye had ever seen a god — except for You — that acted for those who await Him.
64:3
We have all become defiled and all our righteousness is like a worn-out garment; we all wither like a leaf; and like a wind, our sins carry us off.
:5
So now, Hashem, You are our Father. We are the clay and You are our Potter, and we are all Your handiwork.
:7
O Hashem, do not become greatly enraged and do not remember iniquity forever; behold, see now, we are all Your people.
:8
Will You restrain Yourself in the face of all these, Hashem, and be silent and let us suffer so much?
:11
