Musar for Keritot 49:38
נאמר מכשיר ומכפר בפנים ונאמר מכשיר ומכפר בחוץ מה מכשיר ומכפר האמור בפנים עשה בו מכשיר כמכפר אף מכשיר [ומכפר] האמור בחוץ עשה מכשיר כמכפר:
THE WILFUL TRANSGRESSION OF WHICH IS SUBJECT TO KARETH AND THE INADVERTENT TRANSGRESSION OF WHICH IS SUBJECT TO A SIN-OFFERING.
Mesilat Yesharim
This is as the matter of Bava Ben Buta who would bring an Asham Talui (undetermined guilt offering) every day (Keritut 25a). Likewise, Iyov, after his sons' feast, would rise early and bring burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For he told himself: "perhaps my children have sinned [and blasphemed G-d in their hearts]" (Iyov 1:5).
