¹³ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for ^(A)our great guilt, seeing that you, our ^(B)God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a ^(C)remnant as this, ¹⁴ shall we break your commandments again and ^(D)intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us ^(E)until you consumed us, so that there should be no ^(F)remnant, nor any to escape?

¹⁵ O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just, for we are left a ^(A)remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our ^(B)guilt, ^(C)for none can stand before you because of this.”
