1 Esdras 8:83

83 All that has happened to us has resulted from our evil deeds and our great sins.

1 Esdras 8:83 In-Context

81 So don't give your daughters in marriage to their sons, and don't take their daughters for your sons.

82 Don't seek at any time to make a peace treaty with them, so that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and pass it on as an inheritance to your children forever."

83 All that has happened to us has resulted from our evil deeds and our great sins.

84 For you, Lord, removed our sins, and you gave us such a root as this. Yet we again turned away to disobey your Law by intermixing with the impure of the neighboring peoples.

85 Weren't you angry enough with us to destroy us without leaving a root or a descendant or our honor?
