Now when these things were done,
the princes
came
to me, saying,
The people
of Israel,
and the priests,
and the Levites,
have not separated
themselves from the people
of the lands,
doing according to their abominations,
even of the Canaanites,
the Hittites,
the Perizzites,
the Jebusites,
the Ammonites,
the Moabites,
the Egyptians,
and the Amorites.

For they have taken
of their daughters
for themselves, and for their sons:
so that the holy
seed
have mingled
themselves with the people
of those lands:
yea, the hand
of the princes
and rulers
hath been chief
in this trespass.

And when I heard

and sat down
astonied.

Then were assembled

because of the transgression
of those that had been carried away;
and I sat
astonied
until the evening
sacrifice.

And at the evening

I arose up

I fell

And said,
O my God,
I am ashamed

to lift up

to thee, my God:
for our iniquities
are increased
over
our head,
and our trespass
is grown up
unto the heavens.

Since the days
of our fathers
have we been in a great
trespass
unto this day;
and for our iniquities
have we, our kings,
and our priests,
been delivered
into the hand
of the kings
of the lands,
to the sword,
to captivity,
and to a spoil,
and to confusion
of face,
as it is this day.

And now for a little
space
grace
hath been shewed from the LORD
our God,
to leave
us a remnant to escape,
and to give
us a nail
in his holy
place,
that our God
may lighten
our eyes,
and give
us a little
reviving
in our bondage.

For we were bondmen;
yet our God
hath not forsaken
us in our bondage,
but hath extended
mercy
unto us in the sight
of the kings
of Persia,
to give
us a reviving,
to set up
the house
of our God,
and to repair
the desolations
thereof, and to give
us a wall
in Judah
and in Jerusalem.

And now, O our God,
what shall we say
after
this? for we have forsaken
thy commandments,
Which thou hast commanded
by
thy servants
the prophets,
saying,
The land,
unto which ye go
to possess
it, is an unclean
land
with the filthiness
of the people
of the lands,
with their abominations,
which have filled
it from one end
to another
with their uncleanness.

Now therefore give
not your daughters
unto their sons,
neither take
their daughters
unto your sons,
nor seek
their peace
or their wealth
for
ever:
that ye may be strong,
and eat
the good
of the land,
and leave it for an inheritance
to your children
for ever.

seeing that thou our God
hast punished
us less
than our iniquities
deserve, and hast given
us such deliverance
as this;

Should we again
break

wouldest not thou be angry

us, so that there should be no remnant
nor escaping?

O LORD

behold, we are before
thee in our trespasses:
for we cannot stand
before
thee because of this.
