SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:11
Ahora pues, dad confesión al SEÑOR Dios de vuestros padres, y haced su voluntad, y apartaos de los pueblos de las tierras, y de las mujeres extranjeras.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 10:11
Verse 11. Make confession] Acknowledge your sins before God, with deep compunction of heart, and the fullest resolution to forsake them.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Now therefore make confession to the Lord God of your fathers , etc.] Of their sin, and express their detestation of it, and repentance for it: and do his pleasure ; obey his will, and particularly in this case: and separate yourselves from the people of the land ; the Canaanites, etc. have no fellowship with them, make no covenants, contracts, and alliances with them for the future; and from the strange wives ; they had taken; put them away.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-14 - There is hope concerning people, when they are convinced, not only tha it is good to part with their sins, but that it is necessary; we mus do it, or we are undone. So rich is the mercy, and so plenteous the redemption of God, that there is hope for the vilest who hear the gospel, and are willing to accept of free salvation. When sinners mour for their sins, and tremble at the word of God, there is hope that the will forsake them. To affect others with godly sorrow or love to God we must ourselves be affected. It was carefully agreed how this affai should be carried on. That which is hastily resolved on seldom prove lasting.
