## Ezra 9:17 in Context (Verses 14–15 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezra/9/14) Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed *us*, so that *there should be* no remnant nor escaping?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezra/9/15) O LORD God of Israel, thou *art* righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as *it is* this day: behold, we *are* before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
 
[Ezra 8](/kjv/ezra/8) [Ezra 10](/kjv/ezra/10)
