Ezra 9:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 For though we were bondmen, yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath inclined mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us life, and to erect the house of our God, and to redress the desolate places thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 And now, our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
11 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the Prophets, saying, (A)The land whereunto ye go to possess it, is an unclean land, because of the filthiness of the people of the lands, which by their abominations, and by their uncleanness have filled it from corner to corner.
