Ezra 9:1 Now when these things were done,3615 the princes8269 came5066 to me, saying,559 The people5971 of Israel,3478 and the priests,3548 and the Levites,3881 have not separated914 themselves from the people5971 of the lands,776 doing according to their abominations,8441 even of the Canaanites,3669 the Hittites,2850 the Perizzites,6522 the Jebusites,2983 the Ammonites,5984 the Moabites,4125 the Egyptians,4713 and the Amorites.567 cr 2 For they have taken5375 of their daughters1323 for themselves, and for their sons:1121 so that the holy6944 seed2233 have mingled6148 themselves with the people5971 of those lands:776 yea, the hand3027 of the princes8269 and rulers5461 hath been chief7223 in this trespass.4604 cr 3 And when I heard8085 this thing,1697 I rent7167 my garment899 and my mantle,4598 and plucked off4803 the hair8181 of my head7218 and of my beard,2206 and sat down3427 astonied.8074 cr 4 Then were assembled622 unto me every one that trembled2730 at the words1697 of the God430 of Israel,3478 because of the transgression4604 of those that had been carried away;1473 and I sat3427 astonied8074 until the evening6153 sacrifice.4503 cr

Ezra 9:5 And at the evening6153 sacrifice4503 I arose up6965 from my heaviness;8589{Or, affliction} and having rent7167 my garment899 and my mantle,4598 I fell3766 upon my knees,1290 and spread out6566 my hands3709 unto the LORD3068 my God,430 cr 6 And said,559 O my God,430 I am ashamed954 and blush3637 to lift up7311{That is, was encouraged} my face6440 to thee, my God:430 for our iniquities5771 are increased7235 over4605 our head,7218 and our trespass819{Or, guiltiness} is grown up1431 unto the heavens.8064 cr 7 Since the days3117 of our fathers1 have we been in a great1419 trespass819 unto this day;3117 and for our iniquities5771 have we, our kings,4428 and our priests,3548 been delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the kings4428 of the lands,776 to the sword,2719 to captivity,7628 and to a spoil,961 and to confusion1322 of face,6440 as it is this day.3117 cr 8 And now for a little4592 space7281{Heb. moment} grace8467 hath been shewed from the LORD3068 our God,430 to leave7604 us a remnant to escape,6413 and to give5414 us a nail3489{Or, a pinne [symbol in wrong place]} in his holy6944 place,4725{That is, a constant and sure abode} that our God430 may lighten215 our eyes,5869 and give5414 us a little4592 reviving4241 in our bondage.5659 cr 9 For we were bondmen;5650 yet our God430 hath not forsaken5800 us in our bondage,5659 but hath extended5186 mercy2617 unto us in the sight6440 of the kings4428 of Persia,6539 to give5414 us a reviving,4241 to set up7311 the house1004 of our God,430 and to repair5975{Heb. to set up} the desolations2723 thereof, and to give5414 us a wall1447 in Judah3063 and in Jerusalem.3389 cr 10 And now, O our God,430 what shall we say559 after310 this? for we have forsaken5800 thy commandments,4687 cr 11 Which thou hast commanded6680 by3027 thy servants5650{Heb. by the hand of thy servants} the prophets,5030 saying,559 The land,776 unto which ye go935 to possess3423 it, is an unclean5079 land776 with the filthiness5079 of the people5971 of the lands,776 with their abominations,8441 which have filled4390 it from one end6310 to another6310{Heb. from mouth to mouth} with their uncleanness.2932 cr 12 Now therefore give5414 not your daughters1323 unto their sons,1121 neither take5375 their daughters1323 unto your sons,1121 nor seek1875 their peace7965 or their wealth2896 for5704 ever:5769 that ye may be strong,2388 and eat398 the good2898 of the land,776 and leave it for an inheritance3423 to your children1121 for ever.5769 cr 13 And after310 all that is come935 upon us for our evil7451 deeds,4639 and for our great1419 trespass,819 seeing that thou our God430 hast punished2820 us less4295 than our iniquities5771 deserve,{Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities} and hast given5414 us such deliverance6413 as this; cr 14 Should we again7725 break6565 thy commandments,4687 and join in affinity2859 with the people5971 of these abominations?8441 wouldest not thou be angry599 with us till thou hadst consumed3615 us, so that there should be no remnant7611 nor escaping?6413 cr 15 O LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 thou art righteous:6662 for we remain7604 yet escaped,6413 as it is this day:3117 behold, we are before6440 thee in our trespasses:819 for we cannot stand5975 before6440 thee because of this. cr
