以斯拉记 10:13

只是百姓众多，又逢大雨的时令，我们不能站在外头，这也不是一两天办完的事，因我们在这事上犯了大罪；

zhǐ shì bǎi xìng zhòng duō ， yòu féng dà yǔ de shí lìng ， wǒ men bù néng zhàn zài wài tou ， zhè yě bú shì yì liǎng tiān bàn wán de shì ， yīn wǒ men zài zhè shì shàng fàn le dà zuì ；

But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
