1 Esdras 8:74 In-Context

72 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.

73 Then I rose from my fast, with my garments and my holy mantle rent, and kneeling down and stretching forth my hands to the Lord

74 I said, "O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded before thy face.

75 For our sins have risen higher than our heads, and our mistakes have mounted up to heaven

76 from the times of our fathers, and we are in great sin to this day.
