@ And
said
, O my
God
, I am
ashamed
and
blush
to lift
up
my
face
to thee, my
God
: for our
iniquities
are
increased
over
our
head
, and our
trespass
is grown
up
unto the
heavens
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:7
@ Since the
days
of our
fathers
have we been in a
great
trespass
unto this
day
; and for our
iniquities
have we, our
kings
, and our
priests
, been
delivered
into the
hand
of the
kings
of the
lands
, to the
sword
, to
captivity
, and to a
spoil
, and to
confusion
of
face
, as it is this
day
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:8
@ And now for a
little
space
grace
hath been shewed from the
LORD
our
God
, to
leave
us a remnant to
escape
, and to
give
us a
nail
in his
holy
place
, that our
God
may
lighten
our
eyes
, and
give
us a
little
reviving
in our
bondage
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:9
@ For we were
bondmen
; yet our
God
hath not
forsaken
us in our
bondage
, but hath
extended
mercy
unto us in the
sight
of the
kings
of
Persia
, to
give
us a
reviving
, to set
up
the
house
of our
God
, and to
repair
the
desolations
thereof, and to
give
us a
wall
in
Judah
and in
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:10
@ And now, O our
God
, what shall we
say
after
this? for we have
forsaken
thy
commandments
,
strkjv@Ezra:9:11
@ Which thou hast
commanded
by
thy
servants
the
prophets
,
saying
, The
land
, unto which ye
go
to
possess
it, is an
unclean
land
with the
filthiness
of the
people
of the
lands
, with their
abominations
, which have
filled
it from one
end
to
another
with their
uncleanness
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:12
@ Now therefore
give
not your
daughters
unto their
sons
, neither
take
their
daughters
unto your
sons
, nor
seek
their
peace
or their
wealth
for
ever
: that ye may be
strong
, and
eat
the
good
of the
land
, and leave it for an
inheritance
to your
children
for
ever
.
strkjv@Ezra:9:13
@ And
after
all that is
come
upon us for our
evil
deeds
, and for our
great
trespass
, seeing that thou our
God
hast
punished
us
less
than our
iniquities
deserve, and hast
given
us such
deliverance
as this;
strkjv@Ezra:9:14
@ Should we
again
break
thy
commandments
, and join in
affinity
with the
people
of these
abominations
? wouldest not thou be
angry
with us till thou hadst
consumed
us, so that there should be no
remnant
nor
escaping
?
strkjv@Ezra:9:15
@ O
LORD
God
of
Israel
, thou art
righteous
: for we
remain
yet
escaped
, as it is this
day
: behold, we are
before
thee in our
trespasses
: for we cannot
stand
before
thee because of this.
