Ezra 10:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ “Arise! For the matter belongs to you. We will be with you also. Be of comfort and do it!”

⁵ Then Ezra arose and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this Word. So, they swore.

⁶ And Ezra rose up from before the House of God and went into the chamber of Johanan, the son of Eliashib. He went there, but he neither ate bread nor drank water. For he mourned because of the transgression of those of the captivity.
