Ezra 9:5–9

5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my ||heaviness; and nhaving rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and ospread 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 pour iniquities are increased over our head, and our ||trespass qis grown up unto the heavens. 7 rSince the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities shave 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 tconfusion of face, as it is this day. 8 And now for a little †space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a uremnant to escape, and to give us ||a nail in his holy place, that our God may wlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. 9 xFor we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but yhath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and †to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us za wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
