lesserot Ezra:9:10-15
lesserot@Ezra:9:10 @ And now what shall we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
lesserot@Ezra:9:11 @ Which thou hast commanded through means of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to take possession thereof, is a land defiled through the defilement of the nations of the lands, through their abominations, with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness.
lesserot@Ezra:9:12 @ And now your daughters shall ye not give unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take for your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their welfare unto eternity: in order that ye may be strong, and eat the best of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children unto eternity.
lesserot@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that is come over us for our evil deeds, and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast spared us less than our iniquities, and hast given us such deliverance as this:
lesserot@Ezra:9:14 @ Should we again make void thy commandments, and make marriage with these people of abominations? wouldst thou not be angry with us even to make an end of us, so that there would not be any remnant or escape?
lesserot@Ezra:9:15 @ O Lord, God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we have been left a remnant that hath escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for there is no standing before thee because of this.
