Ezra 10:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the ^(A)heavy rain. ¹⁰ And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have broken faith and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel. ¹¹ Now then ^(B)make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers and do his will. ^(C)Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives.”
