Ezra 10:12-14

Legacy Standard Bible

¹² Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “This is so! As you have said, so it is ^[a]our duty to do. ¹³ But there are many people; it is the rainy season, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter. ¹⁴ Let our princes stand in for the whole assembly, and let all those in our cities who have married foreign wives come at set times, together with the elders and judges of each city, until the ^(A)burning anger of our God on account of this matter is turned away from us.”
