Ezra 9:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 Though we are slaves,(A) our God has not abandoned us in our slavery. He has extended grace to us in the presence of the Persian kings,(B) giving us new life, so that we can rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins,(C) to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.
10 Now, our God, what can we say in light of[a] this? For we have abandoned the commands 11 You gave through Your servants the prophets, saying: “The land you are entering to possess is an impure land. The surrounding peoples have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness by their impurity and detestable practices.(D)
