New International Version

³ When I heard this, I tore^(A) my tunic and cloak, pulled hair from my head and beard and sat down appalled.^{(B) 4} Then everyone who trembled^(C) at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles. And I sat there appalled^(D) until the evening sacrifice.

⁵ Then, at the evening sacrifice,^(E) I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands^(F) spread out to the Lord my God
