00:00.000 --> 00:01.040
Chapter 9.

00:02.000 --> 00:05.220
Now when these things were done,
the princess came to me, saying,

00:36.040 --> 00:40.440
And when I heard this thing, I rent my
garment to my mantle, and plucked off the

00:40.440 --> 00:43.460
hair of my head and of my beard,
and sat down astonied.

00:43.780 --> 00:46.920
Then were assembled unto me every one that
trembled at the words of the God of

00:46.920 --> 00:49.980
Israel, because of the transgression of
those that had been carried away.

00:50.500 --> 00:53.000
And I sat astonied until the evening
sacrifice.

00:53.620 --> 00:58.180
And at the evening sacrifice I rose up
from my heaviness, and having rent my

00:58.180 --> 01:02.220
garment to my mantle, I fell upon my
knees, and spread out my hands unto the

01:02.220 --> 01:07.920
Lord my God, and said, O my God,
I am ashamed and blushed to lift up my

01:07.920 --> 01:13.380
face to Thee, my God, for our iniquities
are increased over our head, and our

01:13.380 --> 01:15.100
trespasses grown up unto the heavens.

01:15.820 --> 01:20.120
Since the days of our fathers have we been
in a great trespass unto this day,

01:20.660 --> 01:25.780
and for our iniquities have we,
our kings and our priests, been delivered

01:25.780 --> 01:30.720
into the hand of the kings of the lands,
to the sword, to captivity, and to a

01:30.720 --> 01:34.880
spoil, and to confusion of face,
as it is this day.

01:35.620 --> 01:40.500
And now for a little space grace hath been
shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us

01:40.500 --> 01:46.100
a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail
in his holy place, that our God may

01:46.100 --> 01:50.020
lighten our eyes, and give us a little
reviving in our bondage.

01:50.560 --> 01:56.580
For we were bondmen, yet our God hath not
forsaken us in our bondage, but hath

01:56.580 --> 02:01.640
extended mercy unto us in the sight of the
kings of Persia, to give us a reviving,

02:02.140 --> 02:06.200
to set up the house of our God,
and to repair the desolations thereof,

02:06.480 --> 02:09.720
and to give us a wall in Judah and in
Jerusalem.

02:10.840 --> 02:15.840
And now, O our God, what shall we say
after this?

02:17.020 --> 02:20.700
For we have forsaken thy commandments
which thou hast commanded by thy servants

02:20.700 --> 02:26.240
the prophets, saying, The land unto which
ye go to possess it is an unclean land

02:26.240 --> 02:29.920
with the filthiness of the people of the
lands, with their abominations,

02:30.440 --> 02:33.440
which have filled it from one end to
another with their uncleanness.

02:34.160 --> 02:38.580
Now therefore give not your daughters unto
their sons, neither take their daughters

02:38.580 --> 02:44.160
unto your sons, nor seek their peace or
their wealth for ever, that ye may be

02:44.160 --> 02:48.900
strong, and eat the good of the land,
and leave it for an inheritance to your

02:48.900 --> 02:50.140
children for ever.

02:51.080 --> 02:55.740
And after all that is come upon us for our
evil deeds, and for our great trespass,

02:56.460 --> 03:00.400
seeing that thou, our God, hast punished
us less than our iniquities deserve,

03:01.000 --> 03:05.160
and hast given us such deliverance as
this, should we again break thy

03:05.160 --> 03:09.660
commandments, and join in affinity with
the people of these abominations?

03:10.460 --> 03:15.880
Wouldest not thou be angry with us till
thou hadst consumed us, so that there

03:15.880 --> 03:17.300
should be no remnant nor escaping?

03:18.340 --> 03:25.220
O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous,
for we remain yet escaped, as it is this

03:25.220 --> 03:25.480
day.

03:26.520 --> 03:31.120
Behold, we are before thee in our
trespasses, for we cannot stand before

03:31.120 --> 03:32.520
thee because of this.
