Ezra 9:15

Ezra 9:15

13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God ^ahave punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this,

14 should we ^aagain break Your commandments, and ^bjoin in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be ^cangry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?

15 O Lord God of Israel, ^aYou are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. ^bHere we are before You, ^cin our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!”

<< Ezra 9:14

Ezra 10:1 >>

We are - We are here in thy presence, and so are all our sins; we are arraigning ourselves before thy tribunal, acknowledging thee to be just, if thou destroy us. Before thee - In judgment, as that word is often used, we must needs fall and perish at thy presence.
