1 Esdras 8:72
Print
Our sins are greater than what we imagined. Our ignorant deeds have reached heaven.
And all who were ever moved at the word of the Lord of Israel gathered around me, as I mourned over this iniquity, and I sat grief-stricken until the evening sacrifice.
For our sins have risen higher than our heads, and our mistakes have mounted up to heaven
And all who were ever moved at the word of the Lord of Israel gathered round me, as I mourned over this iniquity, and I sat grief-stricken until the evening sacrifice.
And there came to me then as many as ever were moved in (or by) the word of the Lord God of Israel, wailing me upon this wickedness (or while I wailed for this iniquity); and I sat sorrowful unto the eventide sacrifice. [And there came to me as many as ever were then moved in the word of the Lord God of Israel, me wailing upon the wickedness; and I sat sorrowful unto the eventide sacrifice.]
