Ezra 10:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ So get up—it’s your responsibility! We’re with you. Be strong, and get to work.”^[a]

The People Agree to Dissolve Their Marriages

⁵ So Ezra got up and made the chief priests, the descendants of Levi, and all of Israel vow to carry out everything they promised. And so they agreed.^{[b] 6} Ezra arose in front of the Temple of God to visit the apartment of Eliashib’s son Jehohanan. While there, he neither ate nor drank because he was in mourning over the sins of those who had returned from exile.
