1
Now when these things
had been completed,
the princes
approached
me, saying,
"The people
of Israel
and the priests
and the Levites
have not separated
themselves from the peoples
of the lands,
according to their abominations,
those of the Canaanites,
the Hittites,
the Perizzites,
the Jebusites,
the Ammonites,
the Moabites,
the Egyptians
and the Amorites.
2
"For they have taken
some
of their daughters
as wives for themselves and for their sons,
so that the holy
race
has intermingled
with the peoples
of the lands;
indeed, the hands
of the princes
and the rulers
have been
foremost
in this
unfaithfulness."
3
When I heard
about this
matter,
I tore
my garment
and my robe,
and pulled
some
of the hair
from my head
and my beard,
and sat down
appalled.
4
Then everyone
who trembled
at the words
of the God
of Israel
on account
of the unfaithfulness
of the exiles
gathered
to me, and I sat
appalled
until
the evening
offering.
5
But at the evening
offering
I arose
from my humiliation,
even with my garment
and my robe
torn,
and I fell
on my knees
and stretched
out my hands
to the LORD
my God;
6
and I said,
"O my God,
I am ashamed
and embarrassed
to lift
up my face
to You, my God,
for our iniquities
have risen
above
our heads
and our guilt
has grown
even
to the heavens.
7
"Since
the
day
s
of our fathers
to this
day
we have been in great
guilt,
and on account of our iniquities
we, our kings
and our priests
have been given
into the hand
of the kings
of the lands,
to the sword,
to captivity
and to plunder
and to open
shame,
as it is this
day
.
8
"But now
for a brief
moment
grace
has been
shown from the LORD
our God,
to leave
us an escaped remnant
and to give
us a peg
in His holy
place,
that our God
may enlighten
our eyes
and grant
us a little
reviving
in our bondage.
9
"For we are slaves;
yet in our bondage
our God
has not forsaken
us, but has extended
lovingkindness
to us in the sight
of the kings
of Persia,
to give
us reviving
to raise
up the house
of
our God
,
to restore
its ruins
and
to give
us a wall
in Judah
and Jerusalem.
10
"Now,
our God,
what
shall we say
after
this?
For we have forsaken
Your commandments,
11
which
You have commanded
by Your servants
the prophets,
saying,
'The
land
which
you are entering
to possess
is an unclean
land
with the uncleanness
of the peoples
of the
land
s,
with their abominations
which
have filled
it from end
to end
and with their impurity.
12
So now
do not give
your daughters
to their sons
nor
take
their daughters
to your sons
,
and never
seek
their peace
or their prosperity,
that you may be strong
and eat
the good
things of the land
and leave it as an inheritance
to your sons
forever.'
13
"After
all
that has come
upon us for our evil
deeds
and our great
guilt,
since
You our God
have requited
us less
than
our iniquities
deserve, and have given
us an escaped remnant
as this,
14
shall we again
break
Your commandments
and intermarry
with the peoples
who commit these
abominations?
Would You not be angry
with us to the point
of destruction,
until
there is no
remnant
nor
any who escape?
15
"O LORD
God
of Israel,
You are righteous,
for we have been left
an escaped remnant,
as it is this
day;
behold,
we are
before
You in our guilt,
for no one
can stand
before
You because
of this."
