Ezra 10:11-13

Darby Translation

¹¹ And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.

¹² And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.

¹³ But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
