1 Esdras 8:85-88 World English Bible (WEB)

85. Neither shall you⌃ seek to have peace with them for ever, that you⌃ may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that you⌃ may leave it for an inheritance to your children for evermore.

86. And all that is befallen is done to us for our wicked works and great sins: for you, O Lord, did make our sins light,

87. and did give to us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress your law, in mingling ourselves with the uncleanness of the heathen of the land.

88. You was not angry with us to destroy us, till you had left us neither root, seed, nor name.
