Chapter 9

KJV - Ezra 9:8

And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

For a short time, the Lord has shown kindness by letting some of us survive and find hope, and giving us a sign in his special place to help us feel a bit better while we are in captivity.
