Ezra:9:10-15

*
What shall we say ,
our God ,
after this ?
for we have forsaken thy commandments ,
*
which thou hast given us by the hand of thy servants the prophets ,
saying ,
The land ,
into which ye go to inherit it ,
is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations ,
wherewith they have filled it (

Gr .
from mouth to mouth ,
Hebraism (:
note )
from one end to the other by their uncleanness .
*
And now give not your daughters to their sons ,
and take not of their daughters for your sons ,
neither shall ye seek their peace or their good for ever :
that ye may be strong ,
and eat the good of the land ,
and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever .
*
And after all that is (

Gr .
coming (:
note )
come upon us because of our evil deeds ,
and our great trespass ,
it is clear that there is none such as our God ,
for thou has lightly visited our iniquities ,
and given us deliverance ;
*
whereas we have repeatedly broken thy commandments ,
and intermarried with the people of the lands :
be not very angry with us to our utter destruction ,
so that there should be no remnant or escaping one .
*
O Lord God of Israel ,
thou art righteous ;
for we remain yet escaped ,
as at this day :
behold ,
we are before thee in our trespasses :
for we cannot stand before thee on this account .
