In context
86And all that is befallen is done unto us for our wicked works and great sins: for thou, O Lord, didst make our sins light,
87and didst give unto us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land.
— 1 Esdras 8:88 —
89O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day.
90Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.
