Ezra 9:6-7

English Standard Version

⁶ saying:

“O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities ^(A)have risen higher than our heads, and our ^(B)guilt has ^(C)mounted up to the heavens. ^7 (D)From the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great ^(E)guilt. And for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering, ^(F)and to utter shame, as it is today.
