Ezra 10:9-11

New King James Version

⁹ So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and ^(A)all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain. ¹⁰ Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have ^[a]transgressed and ^[b]have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. ¹¹ Now therefore, ^(B)make confession to the Lord God of your fathers, and do His will; ^(C)separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”
