2 Kings 22:19

19 ^bbecause your heart was penitent, and you ^chumbled yourself before the Lord, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become ^da desolation and ^ea curse, and you ^fhave torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord.

Ezra 9:2-6

2 ^gFor they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the ^hholy race ^{▼▼Hebrew offspring} has ^jmixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.” 3 As soon as I heard this, I ^ktore my garment and my cloak and pulled hair from my head and beard and ^lsat appalled. 4 Then all who ^mtrembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of the returned exiles, gathered around me while I sat ⁿappalled until the evening sacrifice. 5 And at the ^oevening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment ^pand my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees ^qand spread out my hands to the Lord my God, 6 saying:

“O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities ^rhave risen higher than our heads, and our ^sguilt has ^tmounted up to the heavens.

Ezra 10:1-6

The People Confess Their Sin

1 ^uWhile Ezra prayed and ^vmade confession, weeping and ^wcasting himself down ^xbefore the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly. 2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: ^y“We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this. 3 Therefore ^zlet us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and ^aatheir children, according to the counsel of my lord ^{▼▼Or of the Lord} and of ^acthose who tremble at the commandment of our God, and let it be done ^adaccording to the Law. 4 Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; ^aebe strong and do it.” 5 Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel ^aftake an oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath.

6 Then Ezra withdrew ^agfrom before the house of God and went to the ^ahchamber of ^aiJehohanan the son of ^ajEliashib, where he spent the night, ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew where he went} neither ^aleating bread nor drinking water, for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles.

Psalms 119:136

136 My eyes ^amshed streams of tears,
because people ^ando not keep your law.

Jeremiah 13:17

17 But if you will not listen,
^aomy soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
