Ezra 10:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Get up, Ezra. You are in charge. But we will support you. So have courage and do it.”

⁵ So Ezra got up. He made these people make a promise: the priests, the Levites and all the people of Israel. They promised to do what was suggested. ⁶ Then Ezra left the Temple. He went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While Ezra was there, he did not eat or drink. He was still sad about the unfaithfulness of the captives who had returned.
