I was very upset at this, so I threw all of Tobiah’s goods out of the room.
As Ezra was praying and confessing and crying and throwing himself down in front of the Temple, a large group of Israelite men, women, and children gathered around him who were also crying loudly.
I ordered the rooms to be purified, and I brought back the utensils for God’s Temple, the grain offerings, and the incense.
When I heard their complaints about these things, I was very angry.
My strong love for your Temple completely controls me. When people insult you, it hurts me.
