1 Esdras 8:69-71

Revised Standard Version

⁶⁹ “The people of Israel and the leaders and the priests and the Levites have not put away from themselves the alien peoples of the land and their pollutions, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per′izzites, the Jeb′usites, the Mo′abites, the Egyptians, and the E′domites. ⁷⁰ For they and their sons have married the daughters of these people,^[a] and the holy race has been mixed with the alien peoples of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the leaders and the nobles have been sharing in this iniquity.”

⁷¹ As soon as I heard these things I rent my garments and my holy mantle, and pulled out hair from my head and beard, and sat down in anxiety and grief.
