Ezra 10:2-4

Living Bible

² Then Shecaniah (the son of Jehiel of the clan of Elam) said to me, “We acknowledge our sin against our God, for we have married these heathen women. But there is hope for Israel in spite of this. ³ For we agree before our God to divorce our heathen wives and to send them away with our children; we will follow your commands and the commands of the others who fear our God. We will obey the laws of God. ⁴ Take courage and tell us how to proceed in setting things straight, and we will fully cooperate.”
