Ezra 9:1-3

1Now when these thingsH428 were done, the princesH8269 drewH5066 near unto me, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, have not separatedH914 themselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776, doing according to their abominationsH8441, even of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the AmmonitesH5984, the MoabitesH4125, the EgyptiansH4713, and the AmoritesH567.

2For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselves and for their sonsH1121, so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingled themselves with the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776: yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulers hath beenH1961 chiefH8269 in this trespass.

3And when I heardH8085 this thingH1697, I rent my garmentH899 and my robeH4598, and plucked off the hairH8181 of my headH7218 and of my beardH2206, and satH3427 downH3427 confounded.
