Ezra 9:10-11

9:10 “And now what are we able to say after this, our God? For we have forsaken your commandments 9:11 which you commanded us through your servants the prophets with these words: ¹  ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land defiled by the impurities of the local residents! ²  With their abominations they have filled it from one end to the other with their filthiness.

[9:11]  ¹ tn Heb “through your servants the prophets, saying.”

[9:11]  ² tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.”
