Ezra 9:4-7

4Then were assembledH622 unto me every one that trembledH2730 at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, because of the transgressionH4604 of those that had been carried awayH1473; and I satH3427 astoniedH8074 until the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.

5And at the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503 I arose upH6965 from my heavinessH8589; and having rentH7167 my garmentH899 and my mantleH4598, I fellH3766 upon my kneesH1290, and spread outH6566 my handsH3709 unto YhwhH3068 my GodH430,1 6And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064.2 7Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
