Ezra 9:5-7

Ezra 9:5-7

[5] And at the evening  sacrifice  I arose up  from my heaviness;  and having rent  my garment  and my mantle,  I fell  upon my knees,  and spread out  my hands  unto the LORD  my God,  [6] And said,  O my God,  I am ashamed  and blush  to lift up  my face  to thee, my God:  for our iniquities  are increased  over  our head,  and our trespass  is grown up  unto the heavens.  [7] Since the days  of our fathers  have we been in a great  trespass  unto this day;  and for our iniquities  have we, our kings,  and our priests,  been delivered  into the hand  of the kings  of the lands,  to the sword,  to captivity,  and to a spoil,  and to confusion  of face,  as it is this day.
