Lev 26:39, Ezr 9:6-15, Neh 9:26-35, Eze 6:9, 16:61-63, 20:43 | ESV | STEP | And those of you who are left shall rot away in your enemies ’ lands because of their iniquity , and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

39 And those of you who are left shall ^arot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

Ezra 9:6-15

6 saying:

“O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities ^bhave risen higher than our heads, and our ^cguilt has ^dmounted up to the heavens. 7 ^eFrom the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great ^fguilt. And for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering, ^gand to utter shame, as it is today. 8 But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the Lord our God, to leave us a ^hremnant and to give us a ⁱsecure hold ^{▼▼Hebrew nail, or tent-pin} within his holy place, that our God may ^kbrighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our slavery. 9 ^lFor we are slaves. Yet our God has not forsaken us in our slavery, ^mbut 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.

10 “And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, 11 which you commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land that you are entering, to take possession of it, is a land impure with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations that have filled it from end to end with ^otheir uncleanness. 12 ^pTherefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters for your sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land ^qand leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’ 13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for ^rour great guilt, seeing that you, our ^sGod, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a ^tremnant as this, 14 shall we break your commandments again and ^uintermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us ^vuntil you consumed us, so that there should be no ^wremnant, nor any to escape? 15 O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just, for we are left a ^xremnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our ^yguilt, ^zfor none can stand before you because of this.”

Nehemiah 9:26-35

26 ^aa“Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you ^aband cast your law behind their back ^acand killed your prophets, who ^adhad warned them in order to turn them back to you, ^aeand they committed great blasphemies. 27 ^afTherefore you gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. ^agAnd in the time of their suffering they cried out to you and you heard them from heaven, and according to your great mercies you gave them ^ahsaviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies. 28 ^aiBut after they had rest they did evil again before you, and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven, ^ajand many times you delivered them according to your mercies. 29 ^akAnd you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet ^althey acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, ^amwhich if a person does them, he shall live by them, ^anand they turned a stubborn shoulder ^aoand stiffened their neck and would not obey. 30 Many years ^apyou bore with them ^aqand warned them ^arby your Spirit through your prophets. ^asYet they would not give ear. ^atTherefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 31 Nevertheless, ^auin your great mercies ^avyou did not make an end of them or forsake them, ^awfor you are a gracious and merciful God.

32 “Now, therefore, our God, ^axthe great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, ^aysince the time of the kings of Assyria until this day. 33 ^azYet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully ^baand we have acted wickedly. 34 Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them. 35 Even in their own kingdom, ^bband amid your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and ^bcrich land that you set before them, ^bdthey did not serve you or turn from their wicked works.

Ezekiel 6:9

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

Ezekiel 16:61-63

61 ^biThen you will remember your ways ^bjand be ashamed when you take ^bkyour sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you ^blas daughters, but not on account of ^{▼▼Or not apart from} the covenant with you. 62 I will establish my covenant with you, ^bnand you shall know that I am the Lord, 63 that you may remember and be confounded, and ^bonever open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 20:43

43 ^bpAnd there you shall remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, ^bqand you shall loathe yourselves for all the evils that you have committed.
