Ezra 9:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
7 From the days of our ancestors to this day we have been deep in guilt, and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been handed over to the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering, and to utter shame, as is now the case. 8 But now for a brief moment favour has been shown by the Lord our God, who has left us a remnant, and given us a stake in his holy place, in order that he[a] may brighten our eyes and grant us a little sustenance in our slavery. 9 For we are slaves; yet our God has not forsaken us in our slavery, but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to give us new life to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judea and Jerusalem.

Ezra 9:7-9
New International Version
7 From the days of our ancestors(A) until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword(B) and captivity,(C) to pillage and humiliation(D) at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
8 “But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious(E) in leaving us a remnant(F) and giving us a firm place[a](G) in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes(H) and a little relief in our bondage. 9 Though we are slaves,(I) our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness(J) 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,(K) and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
