Listen to Esdras 9:8
8 Mas agora, por um breve momento, o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, foi misericordioso, deixando-nos um remanescente e dando-nos um lugar seguro em seu santuário, e dessa maneira o nosso Deus ilumina os nossos olhos e nos dá um pequeno alívio em nossa escravidão.

Esdras 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 9:8

And now, for a little space, grace hath been showed from the
Lord our God
It was but a small time since the Lord first began to show favour to them, so that they soon after began to revolt from him; which argued the strange propensity of their minds to that which is evil, and from which they could not be restrained by the recent goodness of God unto them:

to leave us a remnant to escape;
out of captivity, from whence a small number were graciously and safely returned to their own land:

and to give us a nail in his holy place;
a fixed settlement in the land of Judea, the holy land the Lord had chosen, and in the temple, the holy place sacred to his worship; or a prince of their own, Zerubbabel, to be the governor of them, under whom they might enjoy settled happiness and prosperity, see ( Isaiah 22:23 ) ( Zechariah 10:4 ) ,

that our God may lighten our eyes;
refresh our spirits, cheer our souls, and give us light and gladness, see ( 1 Samuel 14:27 )

and give us a little reviving in our bondage;
for they were still in some degree of bondage, being in subjection, and tributaries to the kings of Persia; but yet being returned to their own land, it was as life from the dead unto them, at least it was giving them a little life, liberty, and joy.

6 e orei:Meu Deus, estou por demais envergonhado e humilhado para levantar o rosto diante de ti, meu Deus, porque os nossos pecados cobrem a nossa cabeça e a nossa culpa sobe até os céus.
7 Desde os dias dos nossos antepassados até agora, a nossa culpa tem sido grande. Por causa dos nossos pecados, nós, os nossos reis e os nossos sacerdotes temos sido entregues à espada e ao cativeiro, ao despojo e à humilhação nas mãos de reis estrangeiros, como acontece hoje.
8 Mas agora, por um breve momento, o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, foi misericordioso, deixando-nos um remanescente e dando-nos um lugar seguro em seu santuário, e dessa maneira o nosso Deus ilumina os nossos olhos e nos dá um pequeno alívio em nossa escravidão.
9 Somos escravos, mas o nosso Deus não nos abandonou na escravidão. Ele tem sido bondoso para conosco diante dos reis da Pérsia: ele nos deu vida nova para reconstruir o templo do nosso Deus e levantar suas ruínas, e nos deu um muro de proteção em Judá e em Jerusalém.
10 E agora, ó nosso Deus, o que podemos dizer depois disso? Pois nós abandonamos os mandamentos que
