Ezra 9:3-10

3And when I heardH8085 this thingH1697, I rent my mantle and my garmentH899, and plucked off the hairH8181 of my headH7218 and of my beardH2206, and satH3427 downH3427 overwhelmed.

4Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the wordsH1697 of the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, because of the unfaithfulnessH4604 of those that had been carried away; and I satH3427 overwhelmed until the eveningH6153 oblation.

5And at the eveningH6153 oblation I aroseH6965 up from my humiliation; and with my mantle and my garmentH899 rent, I fell on my knees, and spreadH6566 out my handsH3709 to Jehovah my 2GodH430,

6and saidH559: O my 3GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blush to liftH7311 up my faceH6440 to thee, my 4GodH430; for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 over [our] headH7218, and our trespass is grownH1431 up to the heavensH8064.

7Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1, we have been in greatH1419 trespass to this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 we, our kingsH4428, our priestsH3548, have been givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, and to captivityH7628, and to spoil, and to confusion of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.

8And nowH6258 for a littleH4592 space there hath beenH1961 favour from Jehovah our 5GodH430, to leaveH7604 us a remnantH7604 to escapeH6413, and to giveH5414 us a nail in his holyH6944 placeH4725, that our 6GodH430 may lighten our eyesH5869, and giveH5414 us a littleH4592 reviving in our bondage.

9For we are bondmen; yet our 7GodH430 hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extendedH5186 mercy unto us before the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539, to giveH5414 us a reviving, to setH5414 up the houseH1004 of our 8GodH430 and to repair the ruinsH2723 thereof, and to giveH5414 us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389.

10And nowH6258, what shall we sayH559, our 9GodH430, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandmentsH4687,
