Ezra 9:15
O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
KJV
Domine Deus Israël, justus es tu : quoniam derelicti sumus, qui salvaremur sicut die hac. Ecce coram te sumus in delicto nostro : non enim stari potest coram te super hoc.
Vulgate
Κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, δίκαιος σύ, ὅτι κατελείφθημεν διασωζόμενοι ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη· ἐναντίον σου ἐν πλημμελείαις ἡμῶν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν στῆναι ἐνώπιόν σου ἐπὶ τούτῳ·
LXX
O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.
