⁵ But at the evening offering I stood up from my ^[b]humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I bowed down on my knees and ^(C)spread out my ^[c]hands to the Lord my God; ⁶ and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God, for our wrongful deeds have ^[d]risen above our heads, and our ^(D)guilt has grown even to the heavens.
