("In this matter they established in the confession: 'And You are righteous concerning all that has befallen me, for You have acted truthfully, while I have acted wickedly.' The intention is that through confessing one’s wrongdoing, one purifies the higher qualities and removes the darkness and blemish—that is, the judgment upon him—and this is 'And You are righteous concerning all that has come upon me.'" — Shlah, Tractate Rosh Hashanah, chapter Ner Mitzvah. And likewise: "The maidservant saw at the sea... only that they were immediately concealed from them and had no standing until they counted seven weeks to purify the traits, to become refined sevenfold" — R. Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin, Pri Tzadik, Devarim, Shemini Atzeret.)
