Context of Nehemiah 10:33
31“Furthermore, we will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, and we will not take their daughters for our sons. 32When the peoples of the land bring merchandise or any kind of grain on Shabbat, we will not buy from them on Shabbat or on a holy day. Also every seventh year we will forego working the land and the debt of every hand. We also assume responsibility for the mitzvot to give a third of a shekel each year for the work of the House of our God: 34for the rows of bread, the regular grain offering and regular burnt offering, the Shabbatot, the New Moons, for the moadim, for the holy things, for the sin offerings to atone for Israel, and for all the service of the House of our God. 35“We—the kohanim, the Levites and the people—have cast lots concerning the offering of wood, to bring it into the House of our God according to our ancestral house at the appointed times year by year to burn on the altar of Adonai, our God, as it is written in the Torah.

We must not only cease to do evil, but learn to do well. Let not any people expect the blessing of God, unless they keep up public worship.
