Ezra 9:7 in Context — Ezra 9
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.
9 Porque somos escravos; porém em nossa escravidão nosso Deus não nos desamparou, mas, sim, inclinou sobre nós bondade diante dos reis da Pérsia, para nos dar alívio, para levantarmos a casa de nosso Deus, e restaurarmos suas ruínas, e para nos dar um muro em Judá e em Jerusalém.
