The speaker’s words of shame, and of grace shown for a little moment
말하는 이가 부끄러워 얼굴을 들지 못한다고 하고 잠간 베푸신 은혜를 말함
Ezra 9:6–9: going on from 9:5, “I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God”, the speaker (“I”) says, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. Now for a little moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a stake in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and revive us a little in our bondage. For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.” The words run on to the end of 9:15. At 9:7 the Korean Revised Version gives the delivering an active verb with no subject written (우리와 우리 왕들과 우리 제사장들을 열방 왕들의 손에 붙이사, delivered us, our kings, and our priests into the hand of the kings of the nations), where WEB reads “have been delivered”; at 9:8 it reads 우리 하나님 여호와께서 우리에게 잠간 은혜를 베푸사 (the LORD our God showed us grace for a little while), where WEB reads “grace has been shown from the LORD our God”, and 박힌 못 (a fastened nail) where WEB reads “a stake”; and at 9:9 it reads 울 where WEB reads “a wall”.
