For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”Ezra 10:1While Ezra prayed and made this confession, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, a very large assembly of Israelites—men, women, and children—gathered around him, and the people wept bitterly as well.Nehemiah 1:4When I heard these words, I sat down and wept.
