This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ezr_10:10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
Ver. 10. We have transgressed] We have disloyally, or rather sacrilegiously, trespassed, by transgressing the covenant. Other men’s sins are rebellious against God, but the saints’ sins are treacheries. Let the Philistines bind Samson, it wilt be nothing so grievous to him as that his brethren should do it. Men’s offences are much increased by their obligations.
To increase the trespass of Israel] To add to the heap which thereby is grown as high as heaven, Ezr_9:6, and calls hard for fire from thence, Psa_11:6, to revenge the quarrel of the covenant. Draw water, therefore, before the Lord, as those did, 1Sa_7:6. Yea, pour out your hearts before him. God is a refuge for us, Psa_62:7.
