What does Ezra 9:7 mean?

'We've been messing up for generations, and because of it, we've suffered—our kings, our priests, and all of us. We've been handed over to other nations, humiliated, and even killed. That's still true today.' Ezra 9:7 - Modern Text Bible

(Ezra acknowledges that their problems aren't new; their history is full of failure and consequences, and they're still dealing with the fallout.)
