In context
71And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy.
72So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God of Israel assembled unto me, while I mourned for the iniquity: but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice.
— 1 Esdras 8:73 —
74I said, O Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before thy face;
75for our sins are multiplied above our heads, and our ignorances have reached up unto heaven.
