Now when Ezra
had prayed,
and when he had confessed,
weeping
and casting himself down
before
the house
of God,
there assembled
unto him out of Israel
a very
great
congregation
of men
and women
and children:
for the people
wept
very
sore.

And Shechaniah
the son
of Jehiel,
one of the sons
of Elam,
answered
and said
unto Ezra,
We have trespassed
against our God,
and have taken
strange
wives
of the people
of the land:
yet now there is
hope
in Israel
concerning this thing.

Now therefore let us make
a covenant
with our God
to put away
all the wives,
and such as are born
of them, according to the counsel
of my lord,
and of those that tremble
at the commandment
of our God;
and let it be done
according to the law.

Then arose
Ezra,
and made the chief
priests,
the Levites,
and all Israel,
to swear
that they should do
according to this word.
And they sware.

Then Ezra
rose up
from before
the house
of God,
and went
into the chamber
of Johanan
the son
of Eliashib:
and when he came
thither, he did eat
no bread,
nor drink
water:
for he mourned
because of the transgression
of them that had been carried away.

And they made proclamation
throughout Judah

unto all the children
of the captivity,
that they should gather themselves together
unto Jerusalem;
And that whosoever would not come
within three

according to the counsel
of the princes

all his substance
should be forfeited,
and himself separated
from the congregation
of those that had been carried away.

Then all the men

It was the ninth

on the twentieth
day of the month;
and all the people
sat
in the street
of the house
of God,
trembling
because of this matter,
and for the great rain.

And Ezra

unto them, Ye have transgressed,

the trespass

Then all the congregation
answered
and said
with a loud
voice,
As thou hast said,
so must we do.
But
the people
are many,
and it is a time
of much rain,
and we are not able

neither is this a work
