16 “My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”

Sin brought to light — God hath found out
Admitting the guilt — the iniquity of thy servants
Offering themselves as slaves — behold, we are my lord’s servants
