Ezra 9:2-4
2 Indeed, the Israelite men(a) have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed(A) has become mixed with the surrounding peoples.(B) The leaders(b) and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!”(C)
3 When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and robe, pulled out some of the hair from my head and beard, and sat down devastated.(D)
