And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 9 of Ezra. The leaders inform Ezra that some of the people, including priests and Levites, have mixed with the peoples of the lands and entered marriages that compromise the separation required by the Law. Ezra responds by tearing his garments and gathering with those who tremble at God’s words. The crisis is presented as a threat to the identity of the restored people.

Da ich solches hörte, zerriß ich mein Kleid und meinen Rock und raufte mein Haupthaar und Bart aus und saß bestürzt.
Lo cual oyendo yo, rasgué mi vestido y mi manto, y arranqué de los cabellos de mi cabeza y de mi barba, y senteme atónito.
Cuando oí esto, rasgué mi vestido y mi manto, me arranqué pelo de la cabeza y de la barba, y me senté consternado.
Lorsque j'entendis cela, je déchirai mes vêtements et mon manteau, je m'arrachai les cheveux de la tête et les poils de la barbe, et je m'assis désolé.
E quando io ebbi intesa questa cosa, io stracciai la mia vesta, e il mio mantello, e mi strappai i capelli del capo e della barba, e mi posi a sedere tutto sconsolato.
E, ouvindo eu tal coisa, rasguei as minhas vestes e o meu manto, e arranquei os cabelos da minha cabeça e da minha barba, e sentei-me atônito.
我一聽見這事,就撕裂衣服和外袍,拔了頭髮和鬍鬚,驚惶地坐著。
