Ezra 10:3-5

Living Bible

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.”

⁵ So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests and the Levites and all the people of Israel swear that they would do as Shecaniah had said; and they all agreed.
