Ezra 10:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Then Ezra the priest stood up. He said, “You haven’t been faithful to the Lord. You have married women from other lands. So you have added to Israel’s guilt. ¹¹ Now honor the Lord, the God of your people. Then do what he wants you to do. Separate yourselves from the nations around you. Send away your wives from other lands.”

¹² The whole community answered with a loud voice. They said, “You are right! We must do as you say.
