Ezra 9:4-7
4Then 1everyone who was frightened by the words of the God of Israel on account of the unfaithfulness of the exiles gathered to me, and I sat 2appalled until 3the evening offering.
5But at the evening offering I stood up from my 4humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I bowed down on my knees and 5spread out my 6hands to the Lord my God; 6and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God, for our wrongful deeds have 7risen above our heads, and our 8guilt has grown even to the heavens. 79Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and because of our wrongful deeds we, our kings, and our priests have been handed over to the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to 1011open shame, as it is this day.
