[1] Now when these things were done, the princes came near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those 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 offspring have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass.” [3] When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled the hair out of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. [4] Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me because of the trespass of the exiles; and I sat confounded until the evening offering. [5] At the evening offering I rose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Yahweh my God; [6] and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. [7] Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. [8] Now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a stake in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and revive us a little in our bondage. [9] For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in 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 to which you go to possess is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. [12] Now therefore don’t give your daughters to their sons. Don’t take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’ [13] “After all that has come on us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant, [14] shall we again break your commandments, and join ourselves with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn’t you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant, nor any to escape? [15] Yahweh, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold,§ we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.”

King James Version
[1] Now when these things were done,H3615(PielInf) the princesH8269 cameH5066(NiphPerf) to me, saying,H559(QalInf) The peopleH5971 of Israel,H3478 and the priests,H3548 and the Levites,H3881 have not separatedH914(NiphPerf) themselves from the peopleH5971 of the lands,H776 [doing] according to their abominations,H8441 [even] of the Canaanites,H3669 the Hittites,H2850 the Perizzites,H6522 the Jebusites,H2983 the Ammonites,H5984 the Moabites,H4125 the Egyptians,H4713 and the Amorites.H567 [2] For they have takenH5375(QalPerf) of their daughtersH1323 for themselves, and for their sons:H1121 so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148(HithPerf) themselves with the peopleH5971 of [those] lands:H776 yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH5461 hath been chiefH7223 in this trespass.H4604 [3] And when I heardH8085(QalInf) this thing,H1697 I rentH7167(QalPerf) my garmentH899 and my mantle,H4598 and plucked offH4803(QalImpf) the hairH8181 of my headH7218 and of my beard,H2206 and sat downH3427(QalImpf) astonied.H8074(PolePtc) [4] Then were assembledH622(NiphImpf) unto me every one that trembledH2730 at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 because of the transgressionH4604 of those that had been carried away;H1473 and I satH3427(QalActPtc) astoniedH8074(PolePtc) until the eveningH6153 sacrifice.H4503 [5] And at the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503 I arose upH6965(QalPerf) from my heaviness;H8589 and having rentH7167(QalInf) my garmentH899 and my mantle,H4598 I fellH3766(QalImpf) upon my knees,H1290 and spread outH6566(QalImpf) my handsH3709 unto the LordH3068 my God,H430 [6] And said,H559(QalImpf) O my God,H430 I am ashamedH954(QalPerf) and blushH3637(NiphPerf) to lift upH7311(HiphInf) my faceH6440 to thee, my God:H430 for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235(QalPerf) overH4605 [our] head,H7218 and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431(QalPerf) unto the heavens.H8064 [7] Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 [have] we [been] in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this day;H3117 and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kings,H4428 [and] our priests,H3548 been deliveredH5414(NiphPerf) into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the lands,H776 to the sword,H2719 to captivity,H7628 and to a spoil,H961 and to confusionH1322 of face,H6440 as [it is] this day.H3117 [8] And now for a littleH4592 spaceH7281 graceH8467 hath been [shewed] from the LordH3068 our God,H430 to leaveH7604(HiphInf) us a remnant to escape,H6413 and to giveH5414(QalInf) us a nailH3489 in his holyH6944 place,H4725 that our GodH430 may lightenH215(HiphInf) our eyes,H5869 and giveH5414(QalInf) us a littleH4592 revivingH4241 in our bondage.H5659 [9] For we [were] bondmen;H5650 yet our GodH430 hath not forsakenH5800(QalPerf) us in our bondage,H5659 but hath extendedH5186(HiphImpf) mercyH2617 unto us in the sightH6440 of the kingsH4428 of Persia,H6539 to giveH5414(QalInf) us a reviving,H4241 to set upH7311(PoleInf) the houseH1004 of our God,H430 and to repairH5975(HiphInf) the desolationsH2723 thereof, and to giveH5414(QalInf) us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and in Jerusalem.H3389 [10] And now, O our God,H430 what shall we sayH559(QalImpf) afterH310 this? for we have forsakenH5800(QalPerf) thy commandments,H4687 [11] Which thou hast commandedH6680(PielPerf) byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 saying,H559(QalInf) The land,H776 unto which ye goH935(QalActPtc) to possessH3423(QalInf) it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the lands,H776 with their abominations,H8441 which have filledH4390(PielPerf) it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleanness.H2932 [12] Now therefore giveH5414(QalImpf) not your daughtersH1323 unto their sons,H1121 neither takeH5375(QalImpf) their daughtersH1323 unto your sons,H1121 nor seekH1875(QalImpf) their peaceH7965 or their wealthH2896 forH5704 ever:H5769 that ye may be strong,H2388(QalImpf) and eatH398(QalPerf) the goodH2898 of the land,H776 and leave [it] for an inheritanceH3423(HiphPerf) to your childrenH1121 for ever.H5769 [13] And afterH310 all that is comeH935(QalActPtc) upon us for our evilH7451 deeds,H4639 and for our greatH1419 trespass,H819 seeing that thou our GodH430 hast punishedH2820(QalPerf) us lessH4295 than our iniquitiesH5771 [deserve], and hast givenH5414(QalPerf) us [such] deliveranceH6413 as this; [14] Should we againH7725(QalImpf) breakH6565(HiphInf) thy commandments,H4687 and join in affinityH2859(HithInf) with the peopleH5971 of these abominations?H8441 wouldest not thou be angryH599(QalImpf) with us till thou hadst consumedH3615(PielInf) [us], so that [there should be] no remnantH7611 nor escaping?H6413 [15] O LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 thou [art] righteous:H6662 for we remainH7604(NiphPerf) yet escaped,H6413 as [it is] this day:H3117 behold, we [are] beforeH6440 thee in our trespasses:H819 for we cannot standH5975(QalInf) beforeH6440 thee because of this.
