Ezra 9:5-6
5
Ndipo wakati wa kutoa dhabihu ya jioni nikainuka kutoka kujidhili kwangu nikiwa na koti na joho langu lililoraruka, nikapiga magoti mikono yangu ikiwa imeinuliwa kwa Bwana Mungu wangu.
6
Nami nikaomba: “Ee Mungu wangu, natahayari na kuona aibu kukuinulia uso wangu Mungu wangu, kwa sababu dhambi zetu zimejikusanya hata kupita juu ya vichwa vyetu na hatia yetu imefika mbinguni.
