4. What happened in Ezra's day, and what did he do about it?
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Ezra was so troubled that he confessed what the people had done, and he cried and laid down in the house of the LORD.
After Ezra fasted and prayed, GOD began to move for them, and the blessings of GOD came back to them.
