Ezra 10:4-6

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴ Arise! For this matter is your responsibility; but we will be with you; chazak and act.

⁵ Then Ezra rose and made the leading Kohanim, the Levi’im, and kol Yisroel take an oath that they would do according to this proposal; so they took the oath.

⁶ Then Ezra arose from before the Beis HaElohim and went into the chamber of Yehochanan ben Elyashiv. Although he went there, he did not eat lechem, nor drink water, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of those of the Golus.
