*
Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel ,
because of the transgression of those that had been carried away ;
and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice .
*
And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness ;
and having rent my garment and my mantle ,
I fell upon my knees ,
and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God ,
*
And said ,
O my God ,
I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee ,
my God :
for our iniquities are increased over our head ,
and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens .
*
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day ;
and for our iniquities have 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 confusion of face ,
as it is this day .
