1 Esdras 8:88

88 Mightest not Thou be angry with us to destroy us till Thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name?

1 Esdras 8:88 In-Context

86 And all that has befallen is done unto us for our wicked works and great sins. For Thou, O Lord, didst make our sins light,

87 and didst give unto us such a root; but we have turned back again to transgress Thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land.

88 Mightest not Thou be angry with us to destroy us till Thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name?

89 O Lord of Israel, Thou art true; for we are left a root this day.

90 Behold, now are we before Thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before Thee."
