Ezra 9:13-15

13After all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and 1our great guilt, since You our God have requited us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us 2an escaped remnant as this,

14 3shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples 4who commit these abominations? 5Would You not be angry with us 6to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape?

15O Lord God of Israel, 7You are righteous, for we have been left an escaped remnant, as it is this day; behold, we are before You in 8our guilt, for 9no one can stand before You because of this.”
