Ezra 9

1

Now when these things were doneh3615h8763, the princesh8269 cameh5066h8738 to me, sayingh559h8800, The peopleh5971 of Israelh3478, and the priestsh3548, and the Levitesh3881, have not separatedh914h8738 themselves from the peopleh5971 of the landsh776, doing according to their abominationsh8441, even of the Canaanitesh3669, the Hittitesh2850, the Perizzitesh6522, the Jebusitesh2983, the Ammonitesh5984, the Moabitesh4125, the Egyptiansh4713, and the Amoritesh567.

2

For they have takenh5375h8804 of their daughtersh1323 for themselves, and for their sonsh1121: so that the holyh6944 seedh2233 have mingledh6148h8694 themselves with the peopleh5971 of those landsh776: yea, the handh3027 of the princesh8269 and rulersh5461 hath been chiefh7223 in this trespassh4604.

3

And when I heardh8085h8800 this thingh1697, I renth7167h8804 my garmenth899 and my mantleh4598, and plucked offh4803h8799 the hairh8181 of my headh7218 and of my beardh2206, and sat downh3427h8799 astoniedh8074h8789.

4

Then were assembledh622h8735 unto me every one that trembledh2730 at the wordsh1697 of the Godh430 of Israelh3478, because of the transgressionh4604 of those that had been carried awayh1473; and I sath3427h8802 astoniedh8074h8789 until the eveningh6153 sacrificeh4503.

5

And at the eveningh6153 sacrificeh4503 I arose uph6965h8804 from my heavinessh8589; and having renth7167h8800 my garmenth899 and my mantleh4598, I fellh3766h8799 upon my kneesh1290, and spread outh6566h8799 my handsh3709 unto the LORDh3068 my Godh430, heaviness: or, affliction

6

And saidh559h8799, O my Godh430, I am ashamedh954h8804 and blushh3637h8738 to lift uph7311h8687 my faceh6440 to thee, my Godh430: for our iniquitiesh5771 are increasedh7235h8804 overh4605 our headh7218, and our trespassh819 is grown uph1431h8804 unto the heavensh8064. trespass: or, guiltiness

7

Since the daysh3117 of our fathersh1 have we been in a greath1419 trespassh819 unto this dayh3117; and for our iniquitiesh5771 have we, our kingsh4428, and our priestsh3548, been deliveredh5414h8738 into the handh3027 of the kingsh4428 of the landsh776, to the swordh2719, to captivityh7628, and to a spoilh961, and to confusionh1322 of faceh6440, as it is this dayh3117.

8

And now for a littleh4592 spaceh7281 graceh8467 hath been shewed from the LORDh3068 our Godh430, to leaveh7604h8687 us a remnant to escapeh6413, and to giveh5414h8800 us a nailh3489 in his holyh6944 placeh4725, that our Godh430 may lightenh215h8687 our eyesh5869, and giveh5414h8800 us a littleh4592 revivingh4241 in our bondageh5659. space: Heb. moment
a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode

9

For we were bondmenh5650; yet our Godh430 hath not forsakenh5800h8804 us in our bondageh5659, but hath extendedh5186h8686 mercyh2617 unto us in the sighth6440 of the kingsh4428 of Persiah6539, to giveh5414h8800 us a revivingh4241, to set uph7311h8788 the househ1004 of our Godh430, and to repairh5975h8687 the desolationsh2723 thereof, and to giveh5414h8800 us a wallh1447 in Judahh3063 and in Jerusalemh3389. to repair: Heb. to set up

10

And now, O our Godh430, what shall we sayh559h8799 afterh310 this? for we have forsakenh5800h8804 thy commandmentsh4687,

11

Which thou hast commandedh6680h8765 byh3027 thy servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030, sayingh559h8800, The landh776, unto which ye goh935h8802 to possessh3423h8800 it, is an uncleanh5079 landh776 with the filthinessh5079 of the peopleh5971 of the landsh776, with their abominationsh8441, which have filledh4390h8765 it from one endh6310 to anotherh6310 with their uncleannessh2932. by: Heb. by the hand of
from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth

12

Now therefore giveh5414h8799 not your daughtersh1323 unto their sonsh1121, neither takeh5375h8799 their daughtersh1323 unto your sonsh1121, nor seekh1875h8799 their peaceh7965 or their wealthh2896 forh5704 everh5769: that ye may be strongh2388h8799, and eath398h8804 the goodh2898 of the landh776, and leave it for an inheritanceh3423h8689 to your childrenh1121 for everh5769.

13

And afterh310 all that is comeh935h8802 upon us for our evilh7451 deedsh4639, and for our greath1419 trespassh819, seeing that thou our Godh430 hast punishedh2820h8804 us lessh4295 than our iniquitiesh5771 deserve , and hast givenh5414h8804 us such deliveranceh6413 as this; hast punished...: Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities

14

Should we againh7725h8799 breakh6565h8687 thy commandmentsh4687, and join in affinityh2859h8692 with the peopleh5971 of these abominationsh8441? wouldest not thou be angryh599h8799 with us till thou hadst consumedh3615h8763 us , so that there should be no remnanth7611 nor escapingh6413?

15

O LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, thou art righteoush6662: for we remainh7604h8738 yet escapedh6413, as it is this dayh3117: behold, we are beforeh6440 thee in our trespassesh819: for we cannot standh5975h8800 beforeh6440 thee because of this.
