Ezra 9:3-10

3When I heardH8085 about thisH2088 matterH1697, I 1toreH7167 my garmentH899 and my robeH4598, and pulledH4803 someH4480 of the hairH8181 from my headH7218 and my beardH2206, and 2satH3427 downH3427 appalledH8074. 4Then 3everyoneH3605 who trembledH2730 at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 on accountH5921 of the unfaithfulnessH4604 of the exilesH1473 gatheredH622 to me, and I satH3427 appalledH8074 untilH5704 4the eveningH6153 offeringH4503.

5But at the eveningH6153 offeringH4503 I aroseH6965 from my 5humiliationH8589, even with my garmentH899 and my robeH4598 tornH7167, and I fellH3766 on my kneesH1290 and 6stretchedH6566 out my 7handsH3709 to the LordH3068 my GodH430; 6and I saidH559, “O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and embarrassedH3637 to liftH7311 up my faceH6440 to You, my GodH430, for our iniquitiesH5771 have 8risenH7235 aboveH4605 our headsH7218 and our 9guiltH819 has grownH1431 evenH5704 to the heavensH8064. 710SinceH4480 the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 to thisH2088 dayH3117 we have been in greatH1419 guiltH819, and on account of our iniquitiesH5771 we, our kingsH4428 and our priestsH3548 have been givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628 and to plunderH961 and to 1112openH6440 shameH1322, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117. 8But nowH6258 for a briefH4592 momentH7281 graceH8467 has beenH1961 shown from the LordH3068 our GodH430, 13to leaveH7604 us an escapedH6413 remnantH6413 and to giveH5414 us a 14pegH3489 in His holyH6944 placeH4725, that our GodH430 may 15enlightenH215 our eyesH5869 and grantH5414 us a littleH4592 revivingH4241 in our bondageH5659. 916For we are slavesH5650; yet in our bondageH5659 our GodH430 has not forsakenH5800 us, but 17has extendedH5186 lovingkindnessH2617 to us in the sightH6440 of the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539, to giveH5414 us revivingH4241 to raiseH7311 up the houseH1004 of our GodH430, to restoreH5975 its ruinsH2723 and to giveH5414 us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.

10“NowH6258, our GodH430, whatH4100 shall we sayH559 afterH310 thisH2088? For we have forsakenH5800 Your commandmentsH4687,
