3 Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by (A)prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. 4 I prayed to the Lord my God and (B)made confession, saying, (C)“O Lord, the (D)great and awesome God, who (E)keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 (F)we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly (G)and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 (H)We have not listened to (I)your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to (J)our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 To you, (K)O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, (L)those who are near and (M)those who are far away, in (N)all the lands to which you have driven them, because of (O)the treachery that they have committed against you. 8 To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because (P)we have sinned against you. 9 (Q)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 (R)and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by (S)his servants the prophets. 11 (T)All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, (U)refusing to obey your voice. (V)And the curse and oath (W)that are written in the Law of (X)Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because (Y)we have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against (Z)our rulers who ruled us,[a] by (AA)bringing upon us a great calamity. (AB)For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 (AC)As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, (AD)turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 (AE)Therefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, (AF)for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and (AG)we have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt (AH)with a mighty hand, and (AI)have made a name for yourself, as at this day, (AJ)we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 “O Lord, (AK)according to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, (AL)your holy hill, (AM)because for our sins, and for (AN)the iniquities of our fathers, (AO)Jerusalem and your people have become (AP)a byword among all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord,[b] (AQ)make your face to shine upon (AR)your sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 (AS)O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see (AT)our desolations, and (AU)the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act.

3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting,(A) and in sackcloth and ashes.(B)
4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:(C)
“Lord, the great and awesome God,(D) who keeps his covenant of love(E) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned(F) and done wrong.(G) We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away(H) from your commands and laws.(I) 6 We have not listened(J) to your servants the prophets,(K) who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors,(L) and to all the people of the land.
7 “Lord, you are righteous,(M) but this day we are covered with shame(N)—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered(O) us because of our unfaithfulness(P) to you.(Q) 8 We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you.(R) 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,(S) even though we have rebelled against him;(T) 10 we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.(U) 11 All Israel has transgressed(V) your law(W) and turned away, refusing to obey you.
“Therefore the curses(X) and sworn judgments(Y) written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned(Z) against you. 12 You have fulfilled(AA) the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster.(AB) Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like(AC) what has been done to Jerusalem.(AD) 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord(AE) our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.(AF) 14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster(AG) on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does;(AH) yet we have not obeyed him.(AI)
15 “Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand(AJ) and who made for yourself a name(AK) that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. 16 Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts,(AL) turn away(AM) your anger and your wrath(AN) from Jerusalem,(AO) your city, your holy hill.(AP) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn(AQ) to all those around us.
17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant.

Prayer for Mercy
15 (A)Look down from heaven and see,
(B)from your holy and beautiful[a] habitation.
Where are (C)your zeal and your might?
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
are held back from me.
16 For (D)you are our Father,
though Abraham does not know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
(E)our Redeemer from of old is your name.
17 O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
and (F)harden our heart, so that we fear you not?
(G)Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
18 (H)Your holy people held possession for a little while;[b]
(I)our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
19 (J)We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,
like those who are not called by your name.
64 (K)Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
(L)that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 [c] as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
(M)to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 (N)When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 (O)From of old no one has heard
or perceived by the ear,
(P)no eye has seen a God besides you,
who acts for those who wait for him.
5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?[d]
6 (Q)We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
(R)We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 (S)There is no one who calls upon your name,
who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have made us melt in[e] the hand of our iniquities.
8 (T)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
(U)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
(V)we are all the work of your hand.
9 (W)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
(X)and remember not iniquity forever.
Behold, please look, we are all your people.
10 (Y)Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 (Z)Our holy and beautiful[f] house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 (AA)Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?

come down to make your name(U) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(V) before you!

you came down, and the mountains trembled(X) before you.

no ear has perceived,

who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(Z)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(AA)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(AB)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(AC)
and all our righteous(AD) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(AE)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(AF)

or strives to lay hold of you;

and have given us over(AJ) to[c] our sins.
8 Yet you, Lord, are our Father.(AK)
We are the clay, you are the potter;(AL)
we are all the work of your hand.(AM)
9 Do not be angry(AN) beyond measure, Lord;
do not remember our sins(AO) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
for we are all your people.(AP)
10 Your sacred cities(AQ) have become a wasteland;
even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.(AR)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,(AS) where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire,
and all that we treasured(AT) lies in ruins.
12 After all this, Lord, will you hold yourself back?(AU)
Will you keep silent(AV) and punish us beyond measure?

9 On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the Israelites gathered together, fasting and wearing sackcloth and putting dust on their heads.(A) 2 Those of Israelite descent had separated themselves from all foreigners.(B) They stood in their places and confessed their sins and the sins of their ancestors.(C) 3 They stood where they were and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for a quarter of the day, and spent another quarter in confession and in worshiping the Lord their God. 4 Standing on the stairs of the Levites(D) were Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Kenani. They cried out with loud voices to the Lord their God. 5 And the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah—said: “Stand up and praise the Lord your God,(E) who is from everlasting to everlasting.[a]”

5 And at the (A)evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment (B)and my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees (C)and spread out my hands to the Lord my God, 6 saying:
“O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities (D)have risen higher than our heads, and our (E)guilt has (F)mounted up to the heavens. 7 (G)From the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great (H)guilt. And for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering, (I)and to utter shame, as it is today. 8 But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the Lord our God, to leave us a (J)remnant and to give us a (K)secure hold[a] within his holy place, that our God may (L)brighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our slavery. 9 (M)For we are slaves. Yet our God has not forsaken us in our slavery, (N)but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection[b] in Judea and Jerusalem.
10 “And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, 11 which you commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land that you are entering, to take possession of it, is a land impure with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations that have filled it from end to end with (O)their uncleanness. 12 (P)Therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters for your sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land (Q)and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’ 13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for (R)our great guilt, seeing that you, our (S)God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a (T)remnant as this, 14 shall we break your commandments again and (U)intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us (V)until you consumed us, so that there should be no (W)remnant, nor any to escape? 15 O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just, for we are left a (X)remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our (Y)guilt, (Z)for none can stand before you because of this.”

5 Then, at the evening sacrifice,(A) I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands(B) spread out to the Lord my God 6 and prayed:
“I am too ashamed(C) and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens.(D) 7 From the days of our ancestors(E) until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword(F) and captivity,(G) to pillage and humiliation(H) at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
8 “But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious(I) in leaving us a remnant(J) and giving us a firm place[a](K) in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes(L) and a little relief in our bondage. 9 Though we are slaves,(M) our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness(N) in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins,(O) and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
10 “But now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commands(P) 11 you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: ‘The land you are entering(Q) to possess is a land polluted(R) by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices(S) they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. 12 Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them(T) at any time, that you may be strong(U) and eat the good things(V) of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.’(W)
13 “What has happened to us is a result of our evil(X) deeds and our great guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins deserved(Y) and have given us a remnant like this. 14 Shall we then break your commands again and intermarry(Z) with the peoples who commit such detestable practices? Would you not be angry enough with us to destroy us,(AA) leaving us no remnant(AB) or survivor? 15 Lord, the God of Israel, you are righteous!(AC) We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand(AD) in your presence.(AE)”
