Ezra 9:1-4

1Now when theseH428 things were done, the princesH8269 drewH5066 nearH5066 unto meH413, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, have notH3808 separatedH914 themselvesH428 from the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776, doing accordingH413 to their abominationsH8441, evenH3808 of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the JebusitesH2983, the AmmonitesH5984, the MoabitesH4125, the EgyptiansH4713, and the AmoritesH567.

2For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselvesH1992 and for their sonsH1121; soH1961 that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148 themselvesH1992 with the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776: yeaH3588, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH8269 hath been chiefH8269 in this trespassH4604.

3And when I heardH8085 this thingH1697, I rent my garmentH899 and my mantleH4598, and plucked offH853 the hairH8181 of my headH7218 and of my beardH2206, and satH3427 downH3427 astonied.

4Then were assembledH622 unto meH413 everyH3605 one that trembled at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, becauseH5921 of the trespassH4604 of them of the captivity; and I satH3427 astonied untilH5704 the eveningH6153 oblation.
