ὅτι δοῦλοί ἐσμεν, καὶ ἐν τῇ δουλείᾳ ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐνκατέλειπεν ἡμᾶς אΚύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἔκλινεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἔλεος ἐνώπιον βασιλέων Περσῶν, δοῦναι ἡμῖν ζωοποίησιν, τοῦ ὑψῶσαι αὐτοὺς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ ἀναστῆσαι τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς, καὶ τοῦ δοῦναι ἡμῖν φραγμὸν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ. 10 τί εἴπωμεν, ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, μετὰ τοῦτο; ὅτι ἐνκατελίπομεν ἐντολάς σου 11 ἃς ἔδωκας ἡμῖν ἐν χειρὶ δούλων σου τῶν προφητῶν Ἡ γῆ εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύεσθε κληρονομῆσαι αὐτὴν γῆ μετακινουμένη ἐστὶν ἐν μετακινήσει λαῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἐν μακρύμμασιν αὐτῶν, ὧν ἔπλησαν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ στόματος ἐπὶ στόμα ἐν ἀκαθαρσίαις αὐτῶν.

12 καὶ νῦν τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν μὴ δῶτε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ θυγατέρων αὐτῶν μὴ λάβητε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐκζητήσετε εἰρήνην αὐτῶν καὶ ἀγαθὸν αὐτῶν ἕως αἰῶνος, ὅπως ἐνισχύσητε καὶ φάγητε τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς καὶ κληροδοτήσητε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν ἕως αἰῶνος.

13 καὶ μετὰ πᾶν τὸ ἐρχόμενον ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἐν ποιήμασιν ὑμῶν τοῖς πονηροῖς καὶ ἐν πλημμελείᾳ ὑμῶν τῇ μεγάλῃ· ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐκούφισας ἡμῶν τὰς ἀνομίας καὶ ἔδωκας ἡμῖν σωτηρίαν· 14 ὅτι ἐπεστρέψαμεν
