8 But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the Lord our God, to leave us a ^aremnant and to give us a ^bsecure hold ^{▼▼Hebrew nail, or tent-pin} within his holy place, that our God may ^dbrighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our slavery. 9 ^eFor we are slaves. Yet our God has not forsaken us in our slavery, ^fbut has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection ^{▼▼Hebrew a wall} in Judea and Jerusalem.

9 then those of you who escape ⁿwill remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how ^oI have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes ^pthat go whoring after their idols. ^qAnd they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations.

Ezekiel 7:16

16 ^rAnd if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like ^sdoves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity.
