Ezra 10:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ Then Ezra ^(A)rose from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. Although he went there, ^(B)he did not eat bread nor drink water, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles. ⁷ They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the exiles, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, ⁸ and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited and he himself excluded from the assembly of the exiles.
