Ezra 9:8-9

9:8

And now for a little
<04592>

space
<07281>

grace
<08467>

hath been [shewed] from the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

to leave
<07604> (8687)

us a remnant to escape
<06413>_,

and to give
<05414> (8800)

us a nail
<03489>

in his holy
<06944>

place
<04725>_,

that our God
<0430>

may lighten
<0215> (8687)

our eyes
<05869>_,

and give
<05414> (8800)

us a little
<04592>

reviving
<04241>

in our bondage
<05659>_.

{space: Heb. moment} {a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode}

9:9

For we [were] bondmen
<05650>_;

yet our God
<0430>

hath not forsaken
<05800> (8804)

us in our bondage
<05659>_,

but hath extended
<05186> (8686)

mercy
<02617>

unto us in the sight
<06440>

of the kings
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

us a reviving
<04241>_,

to set up
<07311> (8788)

the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_,

and to repair
<05975> (8687)

the desolations
<02723>

thereof, and to give
<05414> (8800)

us a wall
<01447>

in Judah
<03063>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{to repair: Heb. to set up}

Ezra 9:13-15

9:13

And after
<0310>

all that is come
<0935> (8802)

upon us for our evil
<07451>

deeds
<04639>_,

and for our great
<01419>

trespass
<0819>_,

seeing that thou our God
<0430>

hast punished
<02820> (8804)

us less
<04295>

than our iniquities
<05771>

[deserve], and hast given
<05414> (8804)

us [such] deliverance
<06413>

as this; {hast punished...: Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities}

9:14

Should we again
<07725> (8799)

break
<06565> (8687)

thy commandments
<04687>_,

and join in affinity
<02859> (8692)

with the people
<05971>

of these abominations
<08441>_?

wouldest not thou be angry
<0599> (8799)

with us till thou hadst consumed
<03615> (8763)

[us], so that [there should be] no remnant
<07611>

nor escaping
<06413>_?

9:15

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thou [art] righteous
<06662>_:

for we remain
<07604> (8738)

yet escaped
<06413>_,

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

behold, we [are] before
<06440>

thee in our trespasses
<0819>_:

for we cannot stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

thee because of this.
