Ezra 10:5

The People Respond

⁴ Get thee up therefore, for the matter belongeth unto thee. We will be with thee; be of good comfort, and do it." ⁵ Then rose Ezra, and took an oath of the rulers, priests, and Levites, and all of Israel, that they should do according to this word: and they sware. ⁶ And Ezra stood up before the house of God, and went in to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib. And when he came thither, he ate no bread, nor drank water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been in captivity.
