(A)Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land. O Lord, (B)righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.

“O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You. (C)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. 10 We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.

  1. Nehemiah 9:32 hardship

And I said: “O my God, I am too (A)ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for (B)our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has (C)grown up to the heavens. Since the days of our fathers to this day (D)we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities (E)we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the (F)sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to (G)humiliation,[a] as it is this day. And now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may (H)enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. (I)For we were slaves. (J)Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but (K)He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us (L)a wall in Judah 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 which you are entering to possess is an unclean land, with the (M)uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from one end to another with their impurity. 12 Now therefore, (N)do not give your daughters as wives for their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons; and (O)never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and (P)leave it as an inheritance to your children forever.’ 13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God (Q)have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this, 14 should we (R)again break Your commandments, and (S)join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be (T)angry with us until You had [b]consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor? 15 O Lord God of Israel, (U)You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. (V)Here we are before You, (W)in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!”
