Now when these things were done, [3615] the princes [8269] came [5066] to me, saying, [0559] The people [5971] of Israel, [3478] and the priests, [3548] and the Levites, [3881] have not separated [0914] themselves from the people [5971] of the lands, [0776] [doing] according to their abominations, [8441] [even] of the Canaanites, [3669] the Hittites, [2850] the Perizzites, [6522] the Jebusites, [2983] the Ammonites, [5984] the Moabites, [4125] the Egyptians, [4713] and the Amorites. [0567]

2

For they have taken [5375] of their daughters [1323] for themselves, and for their sons: [1121] so that the holy [6944] seed [2233] have mingled [6148] themselves with the people [5971] of [those] lands: [0776] yea, the hand [3027] of the princes [8269] and rulers [5461] hath been chief [7223] in this trespass. [4604]

3

And when I heard [8085] this thing, [1697] I rent [7167] my garment [0899] and my mantle, [4598] and plucked off [4803] the hair [8181] of my head [7218] and of my beard, [2206] and sat down [3427] astonied. [8074]

4

Then were assembled [0622] unto me every one that trembled [2730] at the words [1697] of the God [0430] of Israel, [3478] because of the transgression [4604] of those that had been carried away; [1473] and I sat [3427] astonied [8074] until the evening [6153] sacrifice. [4503]

5

And at the evening [6153] sacrifice [4503] I arose up [6965] from my heaviness; [8589] and having rent [7167] my garment [0899] and my mantle, [4598] I fell [3766] upon my knees, [1290] and spread out [6566] my hands [3709] unto the LORD [3068] my God, [0430]

6

And said, [0559] O my God, [0430] I am ashamed [0954] and blush [3637] to lift up [7311] my face [6440] to thee, my God: [0430] for our iniquities [5771] are increased [7235] over [4605] [our] head, [7218] and our trespass [0819] is grown up [1431] unto the heavens. [8064]

7

Since the days [3117] of our fathers [0001] [have] we [been] in a great [1419] trespass [0819] unto this day; [3117] and for our iniquities [5771] have we, our kings, [4428] [and] our priests, [3548] been delivered [5414] into the hand [3027] of the kings [4428] of the lands, [0776] to the sword, [2719] to captivity, [7628] and to a spoil, [0961] and to confusion [1322] of face, [6440] as [it is] this day. [3117]

8

And now for a little [4592] space [7281] grace [8467] hath been [shewed] from the LORD [3068] our God, [0430] to leave [7604] us a remnant to escape, [6413] and to give [5414] us a nail [3489] in his holy [6944] place, [4725] that our God [0430] may lighten [0215] our eyes, [5869] and give [5414] us a little [4592] reviving [4241] in our bondage. [5659]

9

For we [were] bondmen; [5650] yet our God [0430] hath not forsaken [5800] us in our bondage, [5659] but hath extended [5186] mercy [2617] unto us in the sight [6440] of the kings [4428] of Persia, [6539] to give [5414] us a reviving, [4241] to set up [7311] the house [1004] of our God, [0430] and to repair [5975] the desolations [2723] thereof, and to give [5414] us a wall [1447] in Judah [3063] and in Jerusalem. [3389]

10

And now, O our God, [0430] what shall we say [0559] after [0310] this? for we have forsaken [5800] thy commandments, [4687]

11

Which thou hast commanded [6680] by [3027] thy servants [5650] the prophets, [5030] saying, [0559] The land, [0776] unto which ye go [0935] to possess [3423] it, is an unclean [5079] land [0776] with the filthiness [5079] of the people [5971] of the lands, [0776] with their abominations, [8441] which have filled [4390] it from one end [6310] to another [6310] with their uncleanness. [2932]

12

Now therefore give [5414] not your daughters [1323] unto their sons, [1121] neither take [5375] their daughters [1323] unto your sons, [1121] nor seek [1875] their peace [7965] or their wealth [2896] for [5704] ever: [5769] that ye may be strong, [2388] and eat [0398] the good [2898] of the land, [0776] and leave [it] for an inheritance [3423] to your children [1121] for ever. [5769]

13

And after [0310] all that is come [0935] upon us for our evil [7451] deeds, [4639] and for our great [1419] trespass, [0819] seeing that thou our God [0430] hast punished [2820] us less [4295] than our iniquities [5771] [deserve], and hast given [5414] us [such] deliverance [6413] as this;

14

Should we again [7725] break [6565] thy commandments, [4687] and join in affinity [2859] with the people [5971] of these abominations? [8441] wouldest not thou be angry [0599] with us till thou hadst consumed [3615] [us], so that [there should be] no remnant [7611] nor escaping? [6413]

15

O LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] thou [art] righteous: [6662] for we remain [7604] yet escaped, [6413] as [it is] this day: [3117] behold, we [are] before [6440] thee in our trespasses: [0819] for we cannot stand [5975] before [6440] thee because of this.
