And it came to pass, when they heard the law, that they were separated, [even] every alien in Israel.

So I purged them from all foreign connection, and established courses for the priests and the Levites, [every] man according to his work.

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons, and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression.

Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in His sight, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.

Send forth Your hand from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strange children;

Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;

For He has forsaken His people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.

For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritage.

Let now Your ear be attentive, and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against You- both I and the house of my father have sinned.

And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away.

And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected Me, and that they have walked perversely before Me,

and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to You; for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.

From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day; and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, by captivity, by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day.

O Lord God of Israel, You [are] righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Behold, we [are] before You in our trespasses, for we cannot stand before You on this account.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.

Our fathers in Egypt understood not Your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of Your mercy; but provoked [Him] as they went up by the Red Sea.

And I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek [Him] diligently by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth.

we have committed iniquity, we have transgressed, and we have departed and turned aside from Your commandments and from Your judgments;

To you, O Lord, [belongs] righteousness, and to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the earth, wherever You have scattered them, for the sin which they have committed.

To you, O Lord our God, [belong] compassion and forgiveness, whereas we have departed [from You.]

But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
