1 Esdras 8:89-91

Common English Bible

⁸⁹ Then Shecaniah, Jehiel’s son, one of the men of Israel, shouted to Ezra, “We have sinned against the Lord, and we have married foreign women from the neighboring peoples. Yet there is hope for Israel. ⁹⁰ Let’s swear a pledge to the Lord about this matter, to divorce all of our foreign wives, with their children, as it seems just to you and to as many who follow the Lord’s Law. ⁹¹ Stand up and take part, for it is your duty, and we are with you to act with resolve.”
