Ezra 9:6 in Context — Ezra 9
4 Então se juntaram a mim todos os que se tremiam pelas palavras do Deus de Israel, por causa da transgressão dos que eram do cativeiro; mas eu fiquei sentado, atônito, até o sacrifício da tarde.
5 E perto do sacrifício da tarde eu me levantei de minha aflição; e já tendo rasgado minha roupa e meu manto, inclinei-me de joelhos, e estendi minhas mãos ao SENHOR meu Deus,
6 E disse: Meu Deus, estou confuso e envergonhado de levantar a ti, meu Deus, o meu rosto; pois nossas perversidades se multiplicaram sobre nossa [cabeça] , e nossa culpa cresceu até os céus.
7 Desde os dias de nossos pais até o dia de hoje estamos em grande culpa; e por nossas perversidades nós, nossos reis, e nossos sacerdotes, somos entregues nas mãos dos reis das terras, à espada, ao cativeiro, ao roubo, e à vergonha de rosto, como [se vê] hoje.
8 Mas agora, por um breve momento, houve favor da parte do SENHOR nosso Deus, para deixar um restante livre, e para nos dar uma estaca em seu santo lugar, a fim de iluminar nossos olhos, ó Deus nosso, e nos dar um pouco de alívio em nossa escravidão.
