Commentary on Ezra 9:10
The rhetorical question: 'And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments.' This acknowledges speechlessness before God—what defense can be offered after receiving mercy? The confession 'we have forsaken thy commandments' admits willful violation, not ignorant mistake. This is covenant breaking, not mere failure. The question format demonstrates that genuine repentance recognizes it has no excuse, no justification, no mitigation to plead. Standing guilty before God with no defense is the beginning of true repentance.
