Ezra 10:9-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem within the three days. On the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square at the house of God,^(A) trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain. ¹⁰ Then the priest Ezra stood up and said to them, ‘You have been unfaithful by marrying foreign women, adding to Israel’s guilt.^{(B) 11} Therefore, make a confession to the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the surrounding peoples and your foreign wives.’
