1 Esdras 8:90
Print
Let’s swear a pledge to the Lord about this matter, to divorce all of our foreign wives, with their children, as it seems just to you and to as many who follow the Lord’s Law.
See, we are now before you in our iniquities; for we can no longer stand in your presence because of these things.’
Let us take an oath to the Lord about this, that we will put away all our foreign wives with their children, as seems good to you and to all who obey the law of the Lord.
Behold, we are now before thee in our iniquities; for we can no longer stand in thy presence because of these things.”
Lo! now we be in thy sight in our wickednesses; forsooth it is not yet to stand before thee in these things.
