Ezra 9:3-5

CLV(i) 3 When I heard about this matter, I tore my garment and my robe and scraped some of the hair of my head and my beard and sat down in desolation. 4 Around me were gathering all those trembling at the words of the Elohim of Israel on account of the offense of the sons of deportation. And I continued sitting in desolation until the evening approach present. 5 Then at the time of the evening approach present I arose from my self-abasement and, with my garment and my robe torn on me, I bowed down on my knees and spread out my palms to Yahweh my Elohi.
