And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and are dwelling with foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be found just when You speak, and pure when You judge.

Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, How have we robbed You? In the tithe and the offering.

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
