Then they came
<05066> (8799)

to Zerubbabel
<02216>_,

and to the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let us build
<01129> (8799)

with you: for we seek
<01875> (8799)

your God
<0430>_,

as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

unto him since the days
<03117>

of Esarhaddon
<0634>

king
<04428>

of Assur
<0804>_,

which brought us up hither
<05927> (8688)_.

Ezra 9:7

Since the days
<03117>

of our fathers
<01>

[have] we [been] in a great
<01419>

trespass
<0819>

unto this day
<03117>_;

and for our iniquities
<05771>

have we, our kings
<04428>_,

[and] our priests
<03548>_,

been delivered
<05414> (8738)

into the hand
<03027>

of the kings
<04428>

of the lands
<0776>_,

to the sword
<02719>_,

to captivity
<07628>_,

and to a spoil
<0961>_,

and to confusion
<01322>

of face
<06440>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.
