| Ezr 9:1 | Now when these things H428 were done, H3615 the princes H8269 came H5066 to H413 me, saying, H559 The people H5971 of Israel, H3478 and the priests, H3548 and the Levites, H3881 have not H3808 separated themselves H914 from the people H4480 H5971 of the lands, H776 doing according to their abominations, H8441 even of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Perizzites, H6522 the Jebusites, H2983 the Ammonites, H5984 the Moabites, H4125 the Egyptians, H4713 and the Amorites.H567 |
| Ezr 9:2 | For H3588 they have taken H5375 of their daughters H4480 H1323 for themselves, and for their sons: H1121 so that the holy H6944 seed H2233 have mingled themselves H6148 with the people H5971 of those lands: H776 yea, the hand H3027 of the princes H8269 and rulers H5461 hath been H1961 chief H7223 in this H2088 trespass.H4604 |
| Ezr 9:3 | And when I heard H8085 (H853) this H2088 thing, H1697 I rent H7167 (H853) my garment H899 and my mantle, H4598 and plucked off H4803 the hair H4480 H8181 of my head H7218 and of my beard, H2206 and sat down H3427 astonied.H8074 |
| Ezr 9:4 | Then were assembled H622 unto H413 me every one H3605 that trembled H2730 at the words H1697 of the God H430 of Israel, H3478 because H5921 of the transgression H4604 of those that had been carried away; H1473 and I H589 sat H3427 astonied H8074 until H5704 the evening H6153 sacrifice.H4503 |
| Ezr 9:5 | And at the evening H6153 sacrifice H4503 I arose up H6965 from my heaviness; H4480 H8589 and having rent H7167 my garment H899 and my mantle, H4598 I fell H3766 upon H5921 my knees, H1290 and spread out H6566 my hands H3709 unto H413 the LORD H3068 my God,H430 |
| Ezr 9:6 | And said, H559 O my God, H430 I am ashamed H954 and blush H3637 to lift up H7311 my face H6440 to H413 thee, my God: H430 for H3588 our iniquities H5771 are increased H7235 over H4605 our head, H7218 and our trespass H819 is grown up H1431 unto H5704 the heavens.H8064 |
| Ezr 9:7 | Since the days H4480 H3117 of our fathers H1 have we H587 been in a great H1419 trespass H819 unto H5704 this H2088 day; H3117 and for our iniquities H5771 have we, H587 our kings, H4428 and our priests, H3548 been delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the kings H4428 of the lands, H776 to the sword, H2719 to captivity, H7628 and to a spoil, H961 and to confusion H1322 of face, H6440 as it is this H2088 day.H3117 |
| Ezr 9:8 | And now H6258 for a little H4592 space H7281 grace H8467 hath been H1961 shewed from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 our God, H430 to leave H7604 us a remnant to escape, H6413 and to give H5414 us a nail H3489 in his holy H6944 place, H4725 that our God H430 may lighten H215 our eyes, H5869 and give H5414 us a little H4592 reviving H4241 in our bondage.H5659 |
| Ezr 9:9 | For H3588 we H587 were bondmen; H5650 yet our God H430 hath not H3808 forsaken H5800 us in our bondage, H5659 but hath extended H5186 mercy H2617 unto H5921 us in the sight H6440 of the kings H4428 of Persia, H6539 to give H5414 us a reviving, H4241 to set up H7311 (H853) the house H1004 of our God, H430 and to repair H5975 (H853) the desolations H2723 thereof, and to give H5414 us a wall H1447 in Judah H3063 and in Jerusalem.H3389 |
| Ezr 9:10 | And now, H6258 O our God, H430 what H4100 shall we say H559 after H310 this? H2063 for H3588 we have forsaken H5800 thy commandments,H4687 |
| Ezr 9:11 | Which H834 thou hast commanded H6680 by H3027 thy servants H5650 the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 The land, H776 unto which H834 ye H859 go H935 to possess H3423 it, is an unclean H5079 land H776 with the filthiness H5079 of the people H5971 of the lands, H776 with their abominations, H8441 which H834 have filled H4390 it from one end H4480 H6310 to H413 another H6310 with their uncleanness.H2932 |
| Ezr 9:12 | Now H6258 therefore give H5414 not H408 your daughters H1323 unto their sons, H1121 neither H408 take H5375 their daughters H1323 unto your sons, H1121 nor H3808 seek H1875 their peace H7965 or their wealth H2896 for ever: H5704 H5769 that H4616 ye may be strong, H2388 and eat H398 (H853) the good H2898 of the land, H776 and leave it for an inheritance H3423 to your children H1121 for ever. H5704 H5769 |
| Ezr 9:13 | And after H310 all H3605 that is come H935 upon H5921 us for our evil H7451 deeds, H4639 and for our great H1419 trespass, H819 seeing H3588 that thou H859 our God H430 hast punished H2820 us less H4295 than our iniquities H4480 H5771 deserve, and hast given H5414 us such deliverance H6413 as this;H2063 |
| Ezr 9:14 | Should we again H7725 break H6565 thy commandments, H4687 and join in affinity H2859 with the people H5971 of these H428 abominations? H8441 wouldest not H3808 thou be angry H599 with us till H5704 thou hadst consumed H3615 us, so that there should be no H369 remnant H7611 nor escaping?H6413 |
| Ezr 9:15 | O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 thou H859 art righteous: H6662 for H3588 we remain H7604 yet escaped, H6413 as it is this H2063 day: H3117 behold, H2009 we are before H6440 thee in our trespasses: H819 for H3588 we cannot H369 stand H5975 before H6440 thee because H5921 of this.H2088 |
