Now when these things were doneH3615, the princesH8269 cameH5066 to me, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, have not separatedH914 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.
For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselves, and for their sonsH1121: so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148 themselves with the peopleH5971 of those landsH776: yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH5461 hath been chiefH7223 in this trespassH4604.
And when I heardH8085 this thingH1697, I rentH7167 my garmentH899 and my mantleH4598, and plucked offH4803 the hairH8181 of my headH7218 and of my beardH2206, and sat downH3427 astoniedH8074.
Then were assembledH622 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 satH3427 astoniedH8074 until the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.
And at the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503 I arose upH6965 from my heavinessH8589; and having rentH7167 my garmentH899 and my mantleH4598, I fellH3766 upon my kneesH1290, and spread outH6566 my handsH3709 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, {heaviness: or, affliction}
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
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 deliveredH5414 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.
And now for a littleH4592 spaceH7281 graceH8467 hath been shewed from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to leaveH7604 us a remnant to escapeH6413, and to giveH5414 us a nailH3489 in his holyH6944 placeH4725, that our GodH430 may lightenH215 our eyesH5869, and giveH5414 us a littleH4592 revivingH4241 in our bondageH5659. {space: Heb. moment} {a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode}
For we were bondmenH5650; yet our GodH430 hath not forsakenH5800 us in our bondageH5659, but hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto us in the sightH6440 of the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539, to giveH5414 us a revivingH4241, to set upH7311 the houseH1004 of our GodH430, and to repairH5975 the desolationsH2723 thereof, and to giveH5414 us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389. {to repair: Heb. to set up}
And now, O our GodH430, what shall we sayH559 afterH310 this? for we have forsakenH5800 thy commandmentsH4687,
Which thou hast commandedH6680 byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, The landH776, unto which ye goH935 to possessH3423 it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, with their abominationsH8441, which have filledH4390 it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleannessH2932. {by: Heb. by the hand of} {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Now therefore giveH5414 not your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, neither takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, nor seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their wealthH2896 forH5704 everH5769: that ye may be strongH2388, and eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH3423 to your childrenH1121 for everH5769.
And afterH310 all that is comeH935 upon us for our evilH7451 deedsH4639, and for our greatH1419 trespassH819, seeing that thou our GodH430 hast punishedH2820 us lessH4295 than our iniquitiesH5771 deserve, and hast givenH5414 us such deliveranceH6413 as this; {hast punished…: Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities}
Should we againH7725 breakH6565 thy commandmentsH4687, and join in affinityH2859 with the peopleH5971 of these abominationsH8441? wouldest not thou be angryH599 with us till thou hadst consumedH3615 us, so that there should be no remnantH7611 nor escapingH6413?
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thou art righteousH6662: for we remainH7604 yet escapedH6413, as it is this dayH3117: behold, we are beforeH6440 thee in our trespassesH819: for we cannot standH5975 beforeH6440 thee because of this.
