Hebrews 12:17

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.
