1 Esdras 9:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ But for the multitude is great, and the time is winter, and we may not stand unholpen, [or unhelped], (or without help), and this work is not to (or for) us of one day, nor of two; (for) much we have sinned in these things;

¹² therefore stand the provosts of the multitude, and all that dwell with us, and how many ever have with them heathen wives;

¹³ and stand they nigh in the time that is taken [or and stand they nigh in the accept(able) time of (or in) all place(s)], priests, and doomsmen, till that they lose (or turn away) the wrath of the Lord, of this need (or over this matter).
