Ezra 9:9-11
Common English Bible
9 Even though we are slaves, our God hasn’t abandoned us in our slavery. Instead, he’s shown us his graciousness before Persia’s kings by reviving us to set up our God’s house, to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judea and Jerusalem.
10 “And now, our God, what will we say after this? We have abandoned your commandments, 11 which you commanded through your servants the prophets, saying: ‘The land which you are about to enter to possess is a land polluted by the impurity of the neighboring peoples.[a] Their detestable practices have filled it with uncleanness from end to end.

10 “But now, our God, what can we say after this?

By their detestable practices(G) they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other.
