1 Esdras 8:87-89

Wycliffe Bible

⁸⁷ And thou hast given to us such a root, and again we be turned again to over-pass (or to transgress) thy lawful things, (so) that the uncleannesses of the heathen folk of this land were mingled.

⁸⁸ Whether thou shalt not wrath to us, to lose (or to destroy) us, for till the root be forsaken, and our seed?

⁸⁹ Lord God of Israel, thou art soothfast; forsooth the root is forsaken, unto the day that is now.
