Now when these things were done, the princes came near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. Lev 18:24-30Neh 9:2Ezr 10:10-11Deu 12:30-31Exo 33:16Rom 2:17-251Ki 11:11Ki 11:5-7 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy offspring have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass.” Neh 13:23-24Exo 34:16Ezr 10:18-44Ezr 10:2Deu 7:1-4Deu 7:61Co 7:14Deu 14:2
When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled the hair out of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. Neh 1:4Jos 7:62Ki 18:37Dan 4:19Dan 8:27Ezk 3:15Ezk 7:18Isa 15:2 Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me because of the trespass of the exiles; and I sat confounded until the evening offering. Ezr 10:3Isa 66:2Exo 29:392Ch 34:27Psa 119:136Act 3:1Dan 9:21Ezk 9:4
At the evening offering I rose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God; 1Ki 8:221Ki 8:381Ki 8:54Exo 9:29Exo 9:332Ch 6:13Eph 3:14Psa 141:2 and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. Rev 18:5Psa 38:42Ch 28:9Ezr 9:15Job 42:6Luk 15:21Jer 3:24-25Dan 9:7-8 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. 2Ch 29:6Dan 9:5-81Ki 9:6-91Sa 12:152Ch 30:72Ch 36:16-192Ki 17:5-82Ki 18:9-12 Now for a little moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a stake in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and revive us a little in our bondage. Psa 13:3Rom 11:5-6Hos 6:2Ezk 37:11-14Hab 3:2Isa 57:15Psa 85:6Ecc 12:11 For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

“Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, Dan 9:4-16Gen 44:16Jos 7:8Lam 3:22Rom 3:19 which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land to which you go to possess is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. Lev 18:24-30Ezr 6:212Ch 33:22Co 7:1Deu 12:31Deu 18:12Ezk 36:25-27Ezr 9:1 Now therefore don’t give your daughters to their sons. Don’t take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’ Deu 7:3Deu 23:6Jos 23:12-13Exo 34:15-16Pro 13:222Jn 1:10-11Pro 20:7Exo 23:32
“After all that has come on us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant, Psa 103:10Lam 3:22Lam 3:39-40Job 11:6Ezk 24:13-14Ezr 9:6-8Neh 9:32Psa 106:45-46 shall we again break your commandments, and join ourselves with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn’t you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant, nor any to escape? Deu 9:8Deu 9:14Ezr 9:22Pe 2:20-21Exo 32:10Jdg 2:2Jhn 5:14Num 16:21 LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, 1 we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.” Psa 130:3Jhn 8:24Jhn 8:21Rom 3:19Neh 9:33-34Rom 10:3Zec 3:3-4Dan 9:14
