*
And now ,
O our God ,
what shall we say after this ?
for we have forsaken thy commandments ,
*
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 tow #
ebah #,
which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness tum #
ah #.
*
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 .
*
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds ma #
aseh #,
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 ;
