• Too often the soul deceives itself even by confession-confession without judging the sin. Ezra was too well instructed in the Word and in the ways of God to permit this, and hence there must be self-judgment and separation from the evil as well as its confession.

• As marrying the strange wives had been sin, it might be thought that these might be mentioned first. But what had led to these marriages? Association with the people of the land. This was the root of the mischief, and Ezra thus deals first with it. So in all departures from God, until the root is discovered nothing is gained, and restoration is impossible. (“The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 10” by E. Dennett)
