Chapter 9
Now
in
the
twenty
and
fourth
day
of
this
month
the
children
of
Israel
were
assembled
with
fasting,
and
with
sackclothes,
and
earth
upon
them.
2
And
the
seed
of
Israel
separated
themselves
from
all
strangers,
and
stood
and
confessed
their
sins,
and
the
iniquities
of
their
fathers.
3
And
they
stood
up
in
their
place,
and
read
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
the
Lord
their
God
one
fourth
part
of
the
day;
and
another
fourth
part
they
confessed,
and
worshipped
the
Lord
their
God.
4
Then
stood
up
upon
the
stairs,
of
the
Levites,
Jeshua,
and
Bani,
Kadmiel,
Shebaniah,
Bunni,
Sherebiah,
Bani,
and
Chenani,
and
cried
with
a
loud
voice
unto
the
Lord
their
God.
5
Then
the
Levites,
Jeshua,
and
Kadmiel,
Bani,
Hashabniah,
Sherebiah,
Hodijah,
Shebaniah,
and
Pethahiah,
said,
Stand
up
and
bless
the
Lord
your
God
for
ever
and
ever:
and
blessed
be
thy
glorious
name,
which
is
exalted
above
all
blessing
and
praise.
6
Thou,
even
thou,
art
Lord
alone;
thou
hast
made
heaven,
the
heaven
of
heavens,
with
all
their
host,
the
earth,
and
all
things
that
are
therein,
the
seas,
and
all
that
is
therein,
and
thou
preservest
them
all;
and
the
host
of
heaven
worshippeth
thee.
7
Thou
art
the
Lord
the
God,
who
didst
choose
Abram,
and
broughtest
him
forth
out
of
Ur
of
the
Chaldees,
and
gavest
him
the
name
of
Abraham;
8
And
foundest
his
heart
faithful
before
thee,
and
madest
a
covenant
with
him
to
give
the
land
of
the
Canaanites,
the
Hittites,
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Jebusites,
and
the
Girgashites,
to
give
it,
I
say,
to
his
seed,
and
hast
performed
thy
words;
for
thou
art
righteous:
9
And
didst
see
the
affliction
of
our
fathers
in
Egypt,
and
heardest
their
cry
by
the
Red
sea;
10
And
shewedst
signs
and
wonders
upon
Pharaoh,
and
on
all
his
servants,
and
on
all
the
people
of
his
land:
for
thou
knewest
that
they
dealt
proudly
against
them.
So
didst
thou
get
thee
a
name,
as
it
is
this
day.
11
And
thou
didst
divide
the
sea
before
them,
so
that
they
went
through
the
midst
of
the
sea
on
the
dry
land;
and
their
persecutors
thou
threwest
into
the
deeps,
as
a
stone
into
the
mighty
waters.
12
Moreover
thou
leddest
them
in
the
day
by
a
cloudy
pillar;
and
in
the
night
by
a
pillar
of
fire,
to
give
them
light
in
the
way
wherein
they
should
go.
13
Thou
camest
down
also
upon
mount
Sinai,
and
spakest
with
them
from
heaven,
and
gavest
them
right
judgments,
and
true
laws,
good
statutes
and
commandments:
14
And
madest
known
unto
them
thy
holy
sabbath,
and
commandedst
them
precepts,
statutes,
and
laws,
by
the
hand
of
Moses
thy
servant:
15
And
gavest
them
bread
from
heaven
for
their
hunger,
and
broughtest
forth
water
for
them
out
of
the
rock
for
their
thirst,
and
promisedst
them
that
they
should
go
in
to
possess
the
land
which
thou
hadst
sworn
to
give
them.
16
But
they
and
our
fathers
dealt
proudly,
and
hardened
their
necks,
and
hearkened
not
to
thy
commandments,
17
And
refused
to
obey,
neither
were
mindful
of
thy
wonders
that
thou
didst
among
them;
but
hardened
their
necks,
and
in
their
rebellion
appointed
a
captain
to
return
to
their
bondage:
but
thou
art
a
God
ready
to
pardon,
gracious
and
merciful,
slow
to
anger,
and
of
great
kindness,
and
forsookest
them
not.
18
Yea,
when
they
had
made
them
a
molten
calf,
and
said,
This
is
thy
God
that
brought
thee
up
out
of
Egypt,
and
had
wrought
great
provocations;
19
Yet
thou
in
thy
manifold
mercies
forsookest
them
not
in
the
wilderness:
the
pillar
of
the
cloud
departed
not
from
them
by
day,
to
lead
them
in
the
way;
neither
the
pillar
of
fire
by
night,
to
shew
them
light,
and
the
way
wherein
they
should
go.
20
Thou
gavest
also
thy
good
spirit
to
instruct
them,
and
withheldest
not
thy
manna
from
their
mouth,
and
gavest
them
water
for
their
thirst.
21
Yea,
forty
years
didst
thou
sustain
them
in
the
wilderness,
so
that
they
lacked
nothing;
their
clothes
waxed
not
old,
and
their
feet
swelled
not.
22
Moreover
thou
gavest
them
kingdoms
and
nations,
and
didst
divide
them
into
corners:
so
they
possessed
the
land
of
Sihon,
and
the
land
of
the
king
of
Heshbon,
and
the
land
of
Og
king
of
Bashan.
23
Their
children
also
multipliedst
thou
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
broughtest
them
into
the
land,
concerning
which
thou
hadst
promised
to
their
fathers,
that
they
should
go
in
to
possess
it.
24
So
the
children
went
in
and
possessed
the
land,
and
thou
subduedst
before
them
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
and
gavest
them
into
their
hands,
with
their
kings,
and
the
people
of
the
land,
that
they
might
do
with
them
as
they
would.
25
And
they
took
strong
cities,
and
a
fat
land,
and
possessed
houses
full
of
all
goods,
wells
digged,
vineyards,
and
oliveyards,
and
fruit
trees
in
abundance:
so
they
did
eat,
and
were
filled,
and
became
fat,
and
delighted
themselves
in
thy
great
goodness.
26
Nevertheless
they
were
disobedient,
and
rebelled
against
thee,
and
cast
thy
law
behind
their
backs,
and
slew
thy
prophets
which
testified
against
them
to
turn
them
to
thee,
and
they
wrought
great
provocations.
27
Therefore
thou
deliveredst
them
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
who
vexed
them:
and
in
the
time
of
their
trouble,
when
they
cried
unto
thee,
thou
heardest
them
from
heaven;
and
according
to
thy
manifold
mercies
thou
gavest
them
saviours,
who
saved
them
out
of
the
hand
of
their
enemies.
28
But
after
they
had
rest,
they
did
evil
again
before
thee:
therefore
leftest
thou
them
in
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
so
that
they
had
the
dominion
over
them:
yet
when
they
returned,
and
cried
unto
thee,
thou
heardest
them
from
heaven;
and
many
times
didst
thou
deliver
them
according
to
thy
mercies;
29
And
testifiedst
against
them,
that
thou
mightest
bring
them
again
unto
thy
law:
yet
they
dealt
proudly,
and
hearkened
not
unto
thy
commandments,
but
sinned
against
thy
judgments,
(which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
live
in
them;)
and
withdrew
the
shoulder,
and
hardened
their
neck,
and
would
not
hear.
30
Yet
many
years
didst
thou
forbear
them,
and
testifiedst
against
them
by
thy
spirit
in
thy
prophets:
yet
would
they
not
give
ear:
therefore
gavest
thou
them
into
the
hand
of
the
people
of
the
lands.
31
Nevertheless
for
thy
great
mercies’
sake
thou
didst
not
utterly
consume
them,
nor
forsake
them;
for
thou
art
a
gracious
and
merciful
God.
32
Now
therefore,
our
God,
the
great,
the
mighty,
and
the
terrible
God,
who
keepest
covenant
and
mercy,
let
not
all
the
trouble
seem
little
before
thee,
that
hath
come
upon
us,
on
our
kings,
on
our
princes,
and
on
our
priests,
and
on
our
prophets,
and
on
our
fathers,
and
on
all
thy
people,
since
the
time
of
the
kings
of
Assyria
unto
this
day.
33
Howbeit
thou
art
just
in
all
that
is
brought
upon
us;
for
thou
hast
done
right,
but
we
have
done
wickedly:
34
Neither
have
our
kings,
our
princes,
our
priests,
nor
our
fathers,
kept
thy
law,
nor
hearkened
unto
thy
commandments
and
thy
testimonies,
wherewith
thou
didst
testify
against
them.
35
For
they
have
not
served
thee
in
their
kingdom,
and
in
thy
great
goodness
that
thou
gavest
them,
and
in
the
large
and
fat
land
which
thou
gavest
before
them,
neither
turned
they
from
their
wicked
works.
36
Behold,
we
are
servants
this
day,
and
for
the
land
that
thou
gavest
unto
our
fathers
to
eat
the
fruit
thereof
and
the
good
thereof,
behold,
we
are
servants
in
it:
37
And
it
yieldeth
much
increase
unto
the
kings
whom
thou
hast
set
over
us
because
of
our
sins:
also
they
have
dominion
over
our
bodies,
and
over
our
cattle,
at
their
pleasure,
and
we
are
in
great
distress.
38
And
because
of
all
this
we
make
a
sure
covenant,
and
write
it;
and
our
princes,
Levites,
and
priests,
seal
unto
it.
