Ezra 9 · Grade 2
Ezra Says Sorry
Read the Story
Some leaders came to Ezra. They had sad news. Many people did not obey God. They had married people who prayed to false gods. God had told them not to do that.
Ezra was very sad. He tore his robe. He sat down. He did not know what to say. Others who loved God came and sat with him.
Then Ezra got on his knees. He lifted his hands to God. He told God that they had done wrong. He said God had been kind to them and let them come home. Ezra told God they were sorry.
Memory Verse
“Yahweh, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.””
