Chapter 9

KJV - Ezra 9:6

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.

"Oh my God," they said, "I'm embarrassed and feel like hiding when I think about facing you. Our wrongdoings have piled up so much that they seem to hang over us, and our mistakes have risen high into the sky."
