Ezra 10:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ Take courage and tell us how to proceed in setting things straight, and we will fully cooperate.”

⁵ So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests and the Levites and all the people of Israel swear that they would do as Shecaniah had said; and they all agreed. ⁶ Then I went into the room of Jehohanan in the Temple and refused all food and drink, for I was mourning because of the sin of the returned exiles.
