1 Esdras 8:71

71 Lord, I'm ashamed and disgraced before you.

1 Esdras 8:71 In-Context

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.

73 From the times of our ancestors, we exist in great sin to this very day.
