Chapter 9
Now
when
these
things
were
done,
the
princes
came
to
me,
saying,
The
people
of
Israel,
and
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
have
not
separated
themselves
from
the
people
of
the
lands,
doing
according
to
their
abominations,
even
of
the
Canaanites,
the
Hittites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Jebusites,
the
Ammonites,
the
Moabites,
the
Egyptians,
and
the
Amorites.
2
For
they
have
taken
of
their
daughters
for
themselves,
and
for
their
sons:
so
that
the
holy
seed
have
mingled
themselves
with
the
people
of
those
lands:
yea,
the
hand
of
the
princes
and
rulers
hath
been
chief
in
this
trespass.
3
And
when
I
heard
this
thing,
I
rent
my
garment
and
my
mantle,
and
plucked
off
the
hair
of
my
head
and
of
my
beard,
and
sat
down
astonied.
4
Then
were
assembled
unto
me
every
one
that
trembled
at
the
words
of
the
God
of
Israel,
because
of
the
transgression
of
those
that
had
been
carried
away;
and
I
sat
astonied
until
the
evening
sacrifice.
5
And
at
the
evening
sacrifice
I
arose
up
from
my
heaviness;
and
having
rent
my
garment
and
my
mantle,
I
fell
upon
my
knees,
and
spread
out
my
hands
unto
the
Lord
my
God,
6
And
said,
O
my
God,
I
am
ashamed
and
blush
to
lift
up
my
face
to
thee,
my
God:
for
our
iniquities
are
increased
over
our
head,
and
our
trespass
is
grown
up
unto
the
heavens.
7
Since
the
days
of
our
fathers
have
we
been
in
a
great
trespass
unto
this
day;
and
for
our
iniquities
have
we,
our
kings,
and
our
priests,
been
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
kings
of
the
lands,
to
the
sword,
to
captivity,
and
to
a
spoil,
and
to
confusion
of
face,
as
it
is
this
day.
8
And
now
for
a
little
space
grace
hath
been
shewed
from
the
Lord
our
God,
to
leave
us
a
remnant
to
escape,
and
to
give
us
a
nail
in
his
holy
place,
that
our
God
may
lighten
our
eyes,
and
give
us
a
little
reviving
in
our
bondage.
9
For
we
were
bondmen;
yet
our
God
hath
not
forsaken
us
in
our
bondage,
but
hath
extended
mercy
unto
us
in
the
sight
of
the
kings
of
Persia,
to
give
us
a
reviving,
to
set
up
the
house
of
our
God,
and
to
repair
the
desolations
thereof,
and
to
give
us
a
wall
in
Judah
and
in
Jerusalem.
10
And
now,
O
our
God,
what
shall
we
say
after
this?
for
we
have
forsaken
thy
commandments,
11
Which
thou
hast
commanded
by
thy
servants
the
prophets,
saying,
The
land,
unto
which
ye
go
to
possess
it,
is
an
unclean
land
with
the
filthiness
of
the
people
of
the
lands,
with
their
abominations,
which
have
filled
it
from
one
end
to
another
with
their
uncleanness.
12
Now
therefore
give
not
your
daughters
unto
their
sons,
neither
take
their
daughters
unto
your
sons,
nor
seek
their
peace
or
their
wealth
for
ever:
that
ye
may
be
strong,
and
eat
the
good
of
the
land,
and
leave
it
for
an
inheritance
to
your
children
for
ever.
13
And
after
all
that
is
come
upon
us
for
our
evil
deeds,
and
for
our
great
trespass,
seeing
that
thou
our
God
hast
punished
us
less
than
our
iniquities
deserve,
and
hast
given
us
such
deliverance
as
this;
14
Should
we
again
break
thy
commandments,
and
join
in
affinity
with
the
people
of
these
abominations?
wouldest
not
thou
be
angry
with
us
till
thou
hadst
consumed
us,
so
that
there
should
be
no
remnant
nor
escaping?
15
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
thou
art
righteous:
for
we
remain
yet
escaped,
as
it
is
this
day:
behold,
we
are
before
thee
in
our
trespasses:
for
we
cannot
stand
before
thee
because
of
this.
