Then Shecaniah, Jehiel’s son, one of the men of Israel, shouted to Ezra, “We have sinned against the Lord, and we have married foreign women from the neighboring peoples. Yet there is hope for Israel.
O Lord of Israel, you are faithful; for we are left as a root to this day.
Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the men of Israel, called out and said to Ezra, “We have sinned against the Lord and have married foreign women from the nations of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel.
O Lord of Israel, thou art true; for we are left as a root to this day.
Lord God of Israel, thou art soothfast; forsooth the root is forsaken, unto the day that is now.
