Commentary on Ezra 9:13
Ezra acknowledges deserved judgment: 'And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this.' This profound theology recognizes that exile, though severe, was actually restrained judgment. Total annihilation would be just; survival is mercy. The word 'deliverance' (peleytah, remnant/escaped portion) emphasizes that existence itself is undeserved grace. This prevents both presumption and despair.
