Ezra 9:2-4
English Standard Version
2 (A)For they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the (B)holy race[a] has (C)mixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.” 3 As soon as I heard this, I (D)tore my garment and my cloak and pulled hair from my head and beard and (E)sat appalled. 4 Then all who (F)trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of the returned exiles, gathered around me while I sat (G)appalled until the evening sacrifice.
