How preachers through history handled this text
5 public-domain excerpts on Ezra 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The best reformers can but do their endeavour; when the Redeemer himself shall come to Zion, he shall effectually turn away ungodliness from Jacob. And when sin is repented of and forsaken, God will forgive it; but the blood of Christ, our Sin-offering, is the only atonement which takes away our guilt. No seeming repentance or amendment will benefit those who reject Him, for self-dependence proves them still unhumbled. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Ezra 10:15–44 (Public Domain)
