In reality , ezra 's prayer discloses a man who has thought long and hard about israel 's history .
事实上,以斯拉的祷告展现了一个人对以色列历史思考的长远与深刻。
Ezra treats this as an unmitigated disaster and weeps before the lord as if really grievous harm has been done .
以斯拉将此看为十足的灾难,在神面前哭泣,就好像已经造成无法挽回的痛苦伤害。
But ezra is right in understanding this to be the work of god : " the lord moved the heart of cyrus king of persia " ( ezra 1:1 ) .
但是以斯拉正确地相信这是神的工作:“主激动波斯王居鲁士的心”(以斯拉记1:1)。
It may be difficult for some christians , immersed in the heritage of individualism and influenced by postmodern relativism , to find much sympathy for ezra and his prayer ( ezra 9 ) .
