H3615 [H8763]
Now when these things were done,
H8269
the princes
H5066 [H8738]
came
H559 [H8800]
to me, saying,
H5971
The people
H3478
of Israel,
H3548
and the priests,
H3881
and the Levites,
H914 [H8738]
have not separated
H5971
themselves from the people
H776
of the lands,
H8441
doing according to their abominations,
H3669
even of the Canaanites,
H2850
the Hittites,
H6522
the Perizzites,
H2983
the Jebusites,
H5984
the Ammonites,
H4125
the Moabites,
H4713
the Egyptians,
H567
and the Amorites.
2
H5375 [H8804]
For they have taken
H1323
of their daughters
H1121
for themselves, and for their sons:
H6944
so that the holy
H2233
seed
H6148 [H8694]
have mixed
H5971
themselves with the people
H776
of those lands:
H3027
yea, the hand
H8269
of the princes
H5461
and rulers
H7223
hath been first
H4604
in this treachery.
3
H8085 [H8800]
And when I heard
H1697
this thing,
H7167 [H8804]
I tore
H899
my garment
H4598
and my mantle,
H4803 [H8799]
and plucked off
H8181
the hair
H7218
of my head
H2206
and of my beard,
H3427 [H8799]
and sat down
H8074 [H8789]
appalled.
4
H622 [H8735]
Then were assembled
H2730
to me every one that trembled
H1697
at the words
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel,
H4604
because of the treachery
H1473
of those that had been carried away;
H3427 [H8802]
and I sat
H8074 [H8789]
appalled
H6153
until the evening
H4503
sacrifice.
5
H6153
And at the evening
H4503
sacrifice
H6965 [H8804]
I arose
H8589
from my heaviness;
H7167 [H8800]
and having torn
H899
my garment
H4598
and my mantle,
H3766 [H8799]
I fell
H1290
upon my knees,
H6566 [H8799]
and spread out
H3709
my palms
H3068
to the LORD
H430
my God,
6
H9001
And
H559 [H8799]
said,
H9020
O my
H430
God,
H954 [H8804]
I am too pale
H9001
and
H3637 [H8738]
wounded
H9005
to
H7311 [H8687]
lift up
H9020
my
H6440
face
H413
to
H931
thee,
H9020
my
H430
God:
H3588
for
H9025
our
H5771
perversities
H7235 [H8804]
are increased
H9005
H4605
over
H9011
H7218
our head,
H9002
and
H9025
our
H819
guilt
H1431 [H8804]
is grown up
H5704
to
H9004
the
H8064
heavens.
7
H3117
Since the days
H1
of our fathers
H1419
have we been in a great
H819
guilt
H3117
to this day;
H5771
and for our perversities
H4428
have we, our kings,
H3548
and our priests,
H5414 [H8738]
been given
H3027
into the hand
H4428
of the kings
H776
of the lands,
H2719
to the sword,
H7628
to captivity,
H961
and to a spoil,
H1322
and to shame
H6440
of face,
H3117
as it is this day.
8
H4592
And now for a little
H7281
moment
H8467
grace
H3068
hath been shown from the LORD
H430
our God,
H7604 [H8687]
to leave
H6413
us a remnant to escape,
H5414 [H8800]
and to give
H3489
us a nail
H6944
in his holy
H4725
place,
H430
that our God
H215 [H8687]
may enlighten
H5869
our eyes,
H5414 [H8800]
and give
H4592
us a little
H4241
reviving
H5659
in our bondage.
9
H5650
For we were slaves;
H430
yet our God
H5800 [H8804]
hath not forsaken
H5659
us in our bondage,
H5186 [H8686]
but hath extended
H2617
mercy
H6440
to us in the sight
H4428
of the kings
H6539
of Persia,
H5414 [H8800]
to give
H4241
us a reviving,
H7311 [H8788]
to set up
H1004
the house
H430
of our God,
H5975 [H8687]
and to repair
H2723
the dry places
H5414 [H8800]
of it, and to give
H1447
us a wall
H3063
in Judah
H3389
and in Jerusalem.
10
H430
And now, O our God,
H559 [H8799]
what shall we say
H310
after
H5800 [H8804]
this? for we have forsaken
H4687
thy commandments,
11
H6680 [H8765]
Which thou hast commanded
H3027
by
H5650
thy servants
H5030
the prophets,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H776
The land,
H935 [H8802]
where ye go
H3423 [H8800]
to possess
H5079
it, is an impure
H776
land
H5079
with the filthiness
H5971
of the people
H776
of the lands,
H8441
with their abominations,
H4390 [H8765]
which have filled
H6310
it from one end
H6310
to another
H2932
with their uncleanness.
12
H5414 [H8799]
Now therefore give
H1323
not your daughters
H1121
to their sons,
H5375 [H8799]
neither take
H1323
their daughters
H1121
to your sons,
H1875 [H8799]
nor seek
H7965
their peace
H2896
or their wealth
H5704
for
H5769
ever:
H2388 [H8799]
that ye may be strong,
H398 [H8804]
and eat
H2898
the good
H776
of the land,
H3423 [H8689]
and leave it for an inheritance
H1121
to your sons
H5769
to the age.
13
H310
And after
H935 [H8802]
all that hath come
H7451
upon us for our evil
H4639
deeds,
H1419
and for our great
H819
guilt,
H430
seeing that thou our God
H2820 [H8804]
hast punished
H4295
us less
H5771
than our perversities
H5414 [H8804]
deserve, and hast given
H6413
us such deliverance as this;
14
H7725 [H8799]
Should we again
H6565 [H8687]
break
H4687
thy commandments,
H2859 [H8692]
and join in marriage
H5971
with the people
H8441
of these abominations?
H599 [H8799]
wouldest thou not be angry
H3615 [H8763]
with us till thou hadst consumed
H7611
us, so that there should be no remnant
H6413
nor escaping?
