Ezra 9:1-6

1Now when these thingsH428 were completedH3615, the princesH8269 came to me, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, have not separatedH914 themselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776, 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, and have mingled the holyH6944 seedH2233 with the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776; and the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulers has beenH1961 chiefH8269 in this unfaithfulnessH4604.

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

4Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the wordsH1697 of the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, because of the unfaithfulnessH4604 of those that had been carried away; and I satH3427 overwhelmed until the eveningH6153 oblation.

5And at the eveningH6153 oblation I aroseH6965 up from my humiliation; and with my mantle and my garmentH899 rent, I fell on my knees, and spreadH6566 out my handsH3709 to Jehovah my 2GodH430,

6and saidH559: O my 3GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blush to liftH7311 up my faceH6440 to thee, my 4GodH430; for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 over [our] headH7218, and our trespass is grownH1431 up to the heavensH8064.
