Ezra 10:12-14

American Standard Version

¹² Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, ^[a]As thou hast said concerning us, so must we do. ¹³ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without: neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. ¹⁴ Let now our princes ^[b]be appointed for all the assembly, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, ^[c]until this matter be despatched.
