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.
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the sonH1121 of AhasuerusH325, of the seedH2233 of the MedesH4074, which was made kingH4427 over the realmH4438 of the ChaldeansH3778; {which: or, in which he}
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 I DanielH1840 understoodH995 by booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141, whereof the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, that he would accomplishH4390 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 in the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389.
And I setH5414 my faceH6440 unto the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, and sackclothH8242, and ashesH665:
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
And now, O LordH136 our GodH430, that hast broughtH3318 thy peopleH5971 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and hast gottenH6213 thee renownH8034, as at this dayH3117; we have sinnedH2398, we have done wickedlyH7561. {gotten…: Heb. made thee a name}
O LordH136, according to all thy righteousnessH6666, I beseech thee, let thine angerH639 and thy furyH2534 be turned awayH7725 from thy cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, thy holyH6944 mountainH2022: because for our sinsH2399, and for the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and thy peopleH5971 are become a reproachH2781 to all that are aboutH5439 us.
Now therefore, O our GodH430, hearH8085 the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and his supplicationsH8469, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy sanctuaryH4720 that is desolateH8076, for the Lord'sH136 sake.
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
O LordH136, hearH8085; O LordH136, forgiveH5545; O LordH136, hearkenH7181 and doH6213; deferH309 notH408, for thine own sake, O my GodH430: for thy cityH5892 and thy peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
And whiles I was speakingH1696, and prayingH6419, and confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and presentingH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 for the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430;
Yea, whiles I was speakingH1696 in prayerH8605, even the manH376 GabrielH1403, whom I had seenH7200 in the visionH2377 at the beginningH8462, being caused to flyH3286 swiftlyH3288, touchedH5060 me about the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153 oblationH4503. {swiftly: Heb. with weariness, or, flight}
And he informedH995 me, and talkedH1696 with me, and saidH559, O DanielH1840, I am now come forthH3318 to give thee skillH7919 and understandingH998. {to…: Heb. to make thee skilful of}
At the beginningH8462 of thy supplicationsH8469 the commandmentH1697 came forthH3318, and I am comeH935 to shewH5046 thee; for thou art greatly belovedH2532: therefore understandH995 the matterH1697, and considerH995 the visionH4758. {commandment: Heb. word} {greatly…: Heb. a man of desires}
SeventyH7657 weeksH7620 are determinedH2852 upon thy peopleH5971 and upon thy holyH6944 cityH5892, to finishH3607 the transgressionH6588, and to make an endH8552+H2856 of sinsH2403, and to make reconciliationH3722 for iniquityH5771, and to bring inH935 everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and to seal upH2856 the visionH2377 and prophecyH5030, and to anointH4886 the mostH6944 HolyH6944. {finish: or, restrain} {make an…: or, seal up} {prophecy: Heb. prophet}
KnowH3045 therefore and understandH7919, that from the going forthH4161 of the commandmentH1697 to restoreH7725 and to buildH1129 JerusalemH3389 unto the MessiahH4899 the PrinceH5057 shall be sevenH7651 weeksH7620, and threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 weeksH7620: the streetH7339 shall be builtH1129 againH7725, and the wallH2742, even in troublousH6695 timesH6256. {be built…: Heb. return and be built} {wall: or, breach, or, ditch} {troublous: Heb. strait of}
And afterH310 threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 weeksH7620 shall MessiahH4899 be cut offH3772, but not for himself: and the peopleH5971 of the princeH5057 that shall comeH935 shall destroyH7843 the cityH5892 and the sanctuaryH6944; and the endH7093 thereof shall be with a floodH7858, and unto the endH7093 of the warH4421 desolationsH8074 are determinedH2782. {but…: or, and shall have nothing} {desolations…: or, it shall be cut off by desolations}
And he shall confirmH1396 the covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620: and in the midstH2677 of the weekH7620 he shall cause the sacrificeH2077 and the oblationH4503 to ceaseH7673, and for the overspreadingH3671 of abominationsH8251 he shall make it desolateH8074, even until the consummationH3617, and that determinedH2782 shall be pouredH5413 upon the desolateH8074. {the covenant: or, a covenant} {for the…: or, with the abominable armies} {the desolate: or, the desolator}
And all the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 into the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179; and they spakeH559 unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 to bringH935 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to IsraelH3478.
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 broughtH935 the lawH8451 beforeH6440 the congregationH6951 both of menH376 and womenH802, and all that could hearH8085 with understandingH995, upon the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320. {that…: Heb. that understood in hearing}
And he readH7121 therein beforeH6440 the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179 from the morningH216 until middayH4276+H3117, before the menH582 and the womenH802, and those that could understandH995; and the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971 were attentive unto the bookH5612 of the lawH8451. {from…: Heb. from the light}
And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918. {pulpit…: Heb. tower of wood}
And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975: {sight: Heb. eyes}
And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.
Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.
So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
And NehemiahH5166, which is the TirshathaH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
Then he saidH559 unto them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 unto them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto our LordH113: neither be ye sorryH6087; for the joyH2304 of the LORDH3068 is your strengthH4581.
So the LevitesH3881 stilledH2814 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Hold your peaceH2013, for the dayH3117 is holyH6918; neither be ye grievedH6087.
And all the peopleH5971 went their wayH3212 to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to sendH7971 portionsH4490, and to makeH6213 greatH1419 mirthH8057, because they had understoodH995 the wordsH1697 that were declaredH3045 unto them.
And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}
And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And that they should publishH8085 and proclaimH5674+H6963 in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Go forthH3318 unto the mountH2022, and fetchH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and pineH8081 branchesH6086+H5929, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thickH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.
So the peopleH5971 went forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, every oneH376 upon the roof of his houseH1406, and in their courtsH2691, and in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the streetH7339 of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the streetH7339 of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669.
And all the congregationH6951 of them that were come againH7725 out of the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and satH3427 under the boothsH5521: for since the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 unto that dayH3117 had not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 done soH6213. And there was veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057.
Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemn assemblyH6116, according unto the mannerH4941. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}
Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133? {the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? {cast…: or, afflicted}
Therefore also now, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, turnH7725 ye even to me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553:
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
Who knowethH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repentH5162, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116:
GatherH622 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, assembleH6908 the eldersH2205, gatherH622 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699: let the bridegroomH2860 go forthH3318 of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closetH2646.
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Wherefore I abhorH3988 myself, and repentH5162 in dustH6083 and ashesH665.
