EZRA 9 2 FOR they have taken of their daughters FOR themselves, and FOR their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. 4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the GOD of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. 5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my GOD, 6 And said, O my GOD, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my GOD: FOR our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. 7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and FOR our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. 8 And now FOR a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our GOD, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our GOD may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. 9 FOR we were bondmen; yet our GOD hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our GOD, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 10 And now, O our GOD, what shall we say after this? FOR we have forsaken thy commandments, 12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth FOR ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it FOR an inheritance to your children FOR ever. 13 And after all that is come upon us FOR our evil deeds, and FOR our great trespass, seeing that thou our GOD hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 15 O LORD GOD of Israel, thou art righteous: FOR we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: FOR we cannot stand before thee because of this. EZRA 10 1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of GOD, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: FOR the people wept very sore. 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our GOD, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. 3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our GOD to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our GOD; and let it be done according to the law. 4 Arise; FOR this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of GOD, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: FOR he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of GOD, trembling because of this matter, and FOR the great rain. 11 Now therefore make confession unto the LORD GOD of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. 13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: FOR we are many that have transgressed in this thing. 14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our GOD FOR this matter be turned from us. 19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock FOR their trespass. NEHEMIAH 1 4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the GOD of heaven, 5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD GOD of heaven, the great and terrible GOD, that keepeth covenant and mercy FOR them that love him and observe his commandments: 6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, FOR the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. 11 O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. FOR I was the king's cupbearer. NEHEMIAH 2 3 And said unto the king, Let the king live FOR ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire? 4 Then the king said unto me, FOR what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the GOD of heaven. 6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) FOR how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams FOR the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and FOR the wall of the city, and FOR the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my GOD upon me. 12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my GOD had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. 14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place FOR the beast that was under me to pass. 18 Then I told them of the hand of my GOD which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands FOR this good work. 20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The GOD of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. NEHEMIAH 4 4 Hear, O our GOD; FOR we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them FOR a prey in the land of captivity: 5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: FOR they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. 6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: FOR the people had a mind to work. 9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our GOD, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight FOR your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and GOD had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 18 FOR the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our GOD shall fight FOR us. 23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off FOR washing. NEHEMIAH 5 2 FOR there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn FOR them, that we may eat, and live. 4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money FOR the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; FOR other men have our lands and vineyards. 9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our GOD because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So GOD shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. 15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of GOD. 18 Now that which was prepared FOR me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also FOWLS were prepared FOR me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet FOR all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 19 Think upon me, my GOD, FOR good, according to all that I have done FOR this people. --MORE-- |
