Ezra 10:4-7

4Get up! It’s your duty to take action. We are with you, so be strong and take action.”

5Then Ezra got up and made the leaders, priests, Levites, and all the rest of Israel swear to do what they had said. So they took an oath.

6Then Ezra left the front of God’s temple and went to the room of Jehohanan, son of Eliashib. Ezra didn’t eat any food or drink any water while he was there. He was mourning because these former exiles had been so unfaithful.

7Then he sent a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the former exiles must gather in Jerusalem.
