Ezra 9:5-7

New International Version

“I am too ashamed^(C) and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens.^{(D) 7} From the days of our ancestors^(E) until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword^(F) and captivity,^(G) to pillage and humiliation^(H) at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
