2 Corinthians 7:10
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

μετανοήσατε οὖν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε εἰς τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὅπως ἄν ἔλθωσιν καιροί ἀναψύξεως ἀπό προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
ἀκούσαντες δὲ ταῦτα ἡσύχασαν καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν θεὸν λέγοντες Ἄραγε καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὁ θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν ἔδωκεν εἰς ζωὴν
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
ἐν πρᾶότητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους μήποτε δῷ αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if peradventure God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-נָתָן חָטָאתִי לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל-דָּוִד גַּם-יְהוָה הֶֽעֱבִיר חַטָּֽאתְךָ לֹא תָמֽוּת׃
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
καὶ ὁ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν ἐπᾶραι ἀλλ' ἔτυπτεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων Ὁ θεός ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
οὕτως λέγω ὑμῖν χαρὰ γίνεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
וְהֵשִׁיבוּ אֶל-לִבָּם בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבּוּ-שָׁם וְשָׁבוּ׀ וְהִֽתְחַנְּנוּ אֵלֶיךָ בְּאֶרֶץ שֹֽׁבֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ וְהֶֽעֱוִינוּ רָשָֽׁעְנוּ׃
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
וַיַּרְא הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶֽת-מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם כִּי-שָׁבוּ מִדַּרְכָּם הָרָעָה וַיִּנָּחֶם הָאֱלֹהִים עַל-הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר לַעֲשׂוֹת-לָהֶם וְלֹא עָשָֽׂה׃
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
ἴστε γὰρ ὅτι καὶ μετέπειτα θέλων κληρονομῆσαι τὴν εὐλογίαν ἀπεδοκιμάσθη μετανοίας γὰρ τόπον οὐχ εὗρεν καίπερ μετὰ δακρύων ἐκζητήσας αὐτήν
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought carefully it with tears.
יָשֹׁר׀ עַל-אֲנָשִׁים וַיֹּאמֶר חָטָאתִי וְיָשָׁר הֶעֱוֵיתִי וְלֹא-שָׁוָה לִֽי׃
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
לֵב שָׂמֵחַ יֵיטִיב גֵּהָה וְרוּחַ נְכֵאָה תְּיַבֶּשׁ-גָּֽרֶם׃
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Τί δὲ ὑμῖν δοκεῖ ἄνθρωπος εἶχεν τέκνα δύο καὶ προσελθὼν τῷ πρώτῳ εἶπεν Τέκνον ὕπαγε σήμερον ἐργάζου ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι μου
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
וּבְשׁוּב רָשָׁע מֵֽרִשְׁעָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיַּעַשׂ מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה הוּא אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ יְחַיֶּֽה׃
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος αὐτῷ ὅτι Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με· καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל-יוֹנָה הַהֵיטֵב חָרָֽה-לְךָ עַל-הַקִּֽיקָיוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר הֵיטֵב חָֽרָה-לִי עַד-מָֽוֶת׃
And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
רֽוּחַ-אִישׁ יְכַלְכֵּל מַחֲלֵהוּ וְרוּחַ נְכֵאָה מִי יִשָּׂאֶֽנָּה׃
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה כָּכָה דַּל בֶּן-הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר הֲלוֹא תַּגִּיד לִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אַמְנוֹן אֶת-תָּמָר אֲחוֹת אַבְשָׁלֹם אָחִי אֲנִי אֹהֵֽב׃
And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
וְיִתְכַּסּוּ שַׂקִּים הָֽאָדָם וְהַבְּהֵמָה וְיִקְרְאוּ אֶל-אֱלֹהִים בְּחָזְקָה וְיָשֻׁבוּ אִישׁ מִדַּרְכּוֹ הָֽרָעָה וּמִן-הֶחָמָס אֲשֶׁר בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם׃
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
וַתֵּצֶר לְדָוִד מְאֹד כִּֽי-אָמְרוּ הָעָם לְסָקְלוֹ כִּֽי-מָרָה נֶפֶשׁ כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ עַל-(בנו) בָּנָיו וְעַל-בְּנֹתָיו וַיִּתְחַזֵּק דָּוִד בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
כָּל-יְמֵי עָנִי רָעִים וְטֽוֹב-לֵב מִשְׁתֶּה תָמִֽיד׃
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
