Ezra 10:2 - "And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing."

Envision an artistic representation of the biblical verse Ezra 10:2. Picture Shechaniah, son of Jehiel, a man of the Elam descent, standing and speaking to Ezra, a Middle-Eastern man. Shechaniah is admitting their wrongdoing of marrying strange wives from the different people of the land. The expression of remorse is evident on their faces but also a glimmer of hope radiates from them. Perhaps, they could be standing on a landscape that represents Israel, the hope they are clinging unto. This scene is rendered in a style inspired by contemporary digital art.
