Ezra - Chapter 9

Ezr 9:1	¶	Now when these things were done ³⁶¹⁵ , the princes ⁸²⁶⁹ came ⁵⁰⁶⁶ to me, saying ⁵⁵⁹ , The people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, and the priests ³⁵⁴⁸, and the Levites ³⁸⁸¹, have not separated ⁹¹⁴ themselves from the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of the lands ⁷⁷⁶, [doing] according to their abominations ⁸⁴⁴¹, [even] of the Canaanites ³⁶⁶⁹, the Hittites ²⁸⁵⁰, the Perizzites ⁶⁵²², the Jebusites ²⁹⁸³, the Ammonites ⁵⁹⁸⁴, the Moabites ⁴¹²⁵, the Egyptians ⁴⁷¹³, and the Amorites ⁵⁶⁷.
Ezr 9:2		For they have taken ⁵³⁷⁵ of their daughters ¹³²³ for themselves, and for their sons ¹¹²¹: so that the holy ⁶⁹⁴⁴ seed ²²³³ have mingled ⁶¹⁴⁸ themselves with the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of [those] lands ⁷⁷⁶: yea, the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the princes ⁸²⁶⁹ and rulers ⁵⁴⁶¹ hath been chief ⁷²²³ in this trespass ⁴⁶⁰⁴.
Ezr 9:3		And when I heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ this thing ¹⁶⁹⁷, I rent ⁷¹⁶⁷ my garment ⁸⁹⁹ and my mantle ⁴⁵⁹⁸, and plucked off ⁴⁸⁰³ the hair ⁸¹⁸¹ of my head ⁷²¹⁸ and of my beard ²²⁰⁶, and sat down ³⁴²⁷ astonied ⁸⁰⁷⁴ .
Ezr 9:4		Then were assembled ⁶²² unto me every one that trembled ²⁷³⁰ at the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, because of the transgression ⁴⁶⁰⁴ of those that had been carried away ¹⁴⁷³; and I sat ³⁴²⁷ astonied ⁸⁰⁷⁴ until the evening ⁶¹⁵³ sacrifice ⁴⁵⁰³.
Ezr 9:5	¶	And at the evening ⁶¹⁵³ sacrifice ⁴⁵⁰³ I arose up ⁶⁹⁶⁵ from my heaviness ⁸⁵⁸⁹; and having rent ⁷¹⁶⁷ my garment ⁸⁹⁹ and my mantle ⁴⁵⁹⁸, I fell ³⁷⁶⁶ upon my knees ¹²⁹⁰, and spread out ⁶⁵⁶⁶ my hands ³⁷⁰⁹ unto the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ my God ⁴³⁰,
Ezr 9:6		And said ⁵⁵⁹ , O my God ⁴³⁰, I am ashamed ⁹⁵⁴ and blush ³⁶³⁷ to lift up ⁷³¹¹ my face ⁶⁴⁴⁰ to thee, my God ⁴³⁰: for our iniquities ⁵⁷⁷¹ are increased ⁷²³⁵ over ⁴⁶⁰⁵ [our] head ⁷²¹⁸, and our trespass ⁸¹⁹ is grown up ¹⁴³¹ unto the heavens ⁸⁰⁶⁴.
Ezr 9:7		Since the days ³¹¹⁷ of our fathers ¹ [have] we [been] in a great ¹⁴¹⁹ trespass ⁸¹⁹ unto this day ³¹¹⁷; and for our iniquities ⁵⁷⁷¹ have we, our kings ⁴⁴²⁸, [and] our priests ³⁵⁴⁸, been delivered ⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of the lands ⁷⁷⁶, to the sword ²⁷¹⁹, to captivity ⁷⁶²⁸, and to a spoil ⁹⁶¹, and to confusion ¹³²² of face ⁶⁴⁴⁰, as [it is] this day ³¹¹⁷.
Ezr 9:8		And now for a little ⁴⁵⁹² space ⁷²⁸¹ grace ⁸⁴⁶⁷ hath been [shewed] from the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ our God ⁴³⁰, to leave ⁷⁶⁰⁴ us a remnant to escape ⁶⁴¹³, and to give ⁵⁴¹⁴ us a nail ³⁴⁸⁹ in his holy ⁶⁹⁴⁴ place ⁴⁷²⁵, that our God ⁴³⁰ may lighten ²¹⁵ our eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹, and give ⁵⁴¹⁴ us a little ⁴⁵⁹² reviving ⁴²⁴¹ in our bondage ⁵⁶⁵⁹.
Ezr 9:9		For we [were] bondmen ⁵⁶⁵⁰; yet our God ⁴³⁰ hath not forsaken ⁵⁸⁰⁰ us in our bondage ⁵⁶⁵⁹, but hath extended ⁵¹⁸⁶ mercy ²⁶¹⁷ unto us in the sight ⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia ⁶⁵³⁹, to give ⁵⁴¹⁴ us a reviving ⁴²⁴¹, to set up ⁷³¹¹ the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of our God ⁴³⁰, and to repair ⁵⁹⁷⁵ the desolations ²⁷²³ thereof, and to give ⁵⁴¹⁴ us a wall ¹⁴⁴⁷ in Judah ³⁰⁶³ and in Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
Ezr 9:10		And now, O our God ⁴³⁰, what shall we say ⁵⁵⁹ after ³¹⁰ this? for we have forsaken ⁵⁸⁰⁰ thy commandments ⁴⁶⁸⁷,
Ezr 9:11		Which thou hast commanded ⁶⁶⁸⁰ by ³⁰²⁷ thy servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ the prophets ⁵⁰³⁰, saying ⁵⁵⁹ , The land ⁷⁷⁶, unto which ye go ⁹³⁵ to possess ³⁴²³ it, is an unclean ⁵⁰⁷⁹ land ⁷⁷⁶ with the filthiness ⁵⁰⁷⁹ of the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of the lands ⁷⁷⁶, with their abominations ⁸⁴⁴¹, which have filled ⁴³⁹⁰ it from one end ⁶³¹⁰ to another ⁶³¹⁰ with their uncleanness ²⁹³².
Ezr 9:12		Now therefore give ⁵⁴¹⁴ not your daughters ¹³²³ unto their sons ¹¹²¹, neither take ⁵³⁷⁵ their daughters ¹³²³ unto your sons ¹¹²¹, nor seek ¹⁸⁷⁵ their peace ⁷⁹⁶⁵ or their wealth ²⁸⁹⁶ for ⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹: that ye may be strong ²³⁸⁸ , and eat ³⁹⁸ the good ²⁸⁹⁸ of the land ⁷⁷⁶, and leave [it] for an inheritance ³⁴²³ to your children ¹¹²¹ for ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹.
Ezr 9:13		And after ³¹⁰ all that is come ⁹³⁵ upon us for our evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ deeds ⁴⁶³⁹, and for our great ¹⁴¹⁹ trespass ⁸¹⁹, seeing that thou our God ⁴³⁰ hast punished ²⁸²⁰ us less ⁴²⁹⁵ than our iniquities ⁵⁷⁷¹ [deserve], and hast given ⁵⁴¹⁴ us [such] deliverance ⁶⁴¹³ as this;
Ezr 9:14		Should we again ⁷⁷²⁵ break ⁶⁵⁶⁵ thy commandments ⁴⁶⁸⁷, and join in affinity ²⁸⁵⁹ with the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of these abominations ⁸⁴⁴¹? wouldest not thou be angry ⁵⁹⁹ with us till thou hadst consumed ³⁶¹⁵ [us], so that [there should be] no remnant ⁷⁶¹¹ nor escaping ⁶⁴¹³?
Ezr 9:15		O LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, thou [art] righteous ⁶⁶⁶²: for we remain ⁷⁶⁰⁴ yet escaped ⁶⁴¹³, as [it is] this day ³¹¹⁷: behold, we [are] before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee in our trespasses ⁸¹⁹: for we cannot stand ⁵⁹⁷⁵ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee because of this.
