Ezra 10:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ Arise; for this matter belongs unto thee; we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

⁵ Then Ezra arose and made the princes of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, swear that they should do according to this word. And they swore.

⁶ ¶ 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 there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of the transgression of those that had been carried away.
