1 Esdras 8:70

70 After rising from my fast, with my clothes and priest's robe still torn, I knelt down, stretching out my hands to the Lord, and spoke:

1 Esdras 8:70 In-Context

68 As soon as I heard about these things, I tore my clothes and my priest's robe. I pulled out hair from my head and beard, and I sat down depressed and very sad.
69 Everyone who was moved by the word of the Lord of Israel gathered around me as I mourned over this unlawful deed, and I sat there depressed until the evening sacrifice.
70 After rising from my fast, with my clothes and priest's robe still torn, I knelt down, stretching out my hands to the Lord, and spoke:
71 Lord, I'm ashamed and disgraced before you.
72 Our sins are greater than what we imagined. Our ignorant deeds have reached heaven.
