1 Esdras 8:85

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

1 Esdras 8:85 In-Context

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?

86 Lord of Israel, you are true. We are left as a root this very day.

87 Look! We are now before you in our immorality. We can't stand in your presence anymore because of these things.
