Ezra 9:11-14

11thatH834 You gaveH6680 throughH3027 Your servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559: ‘The landH776 thatH834 youH859 are enteringH935 to possessH3423 isH1931 a landH776 pollutedH5079 by the impurityH5079 of its peoplesH5971H776 and the abominationsH8441 with whichH834 they have filled itH4390 from endH6310 toH413 endH6310. 12Now, thereforeH6258, do notH408 giveH5414 your daughters in marriageH1323 to their sonsH1121 or takeH5375 their daughtersH1323H408 for your sonsH1121. NeverH3808H5704H5769 seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or prosperityH2896, so thatH4616 you may be strongH2388 and may eatH398 the good thingsH2898 of the landH776, leaving it as an inheritanceH3423 to your sonsH1121 foreverH5704H5769.’

13AfterH310 allH3605 that has comeH935 upon usH5921 because of our evilH7451 deedsH4639 and our greatH1419 guiltH819 (thoughH3588 YouH859, our GodH430, have punished usH2820 lessH4295 than our iniquitiesH5771 deserve and have givenH5414 us such a remnantH6413 as thisH2063), 14shall we againH7725 breakH6565 Your commandmentsH4687 and intermarryH2859 with the peoplesH5971 who commit theseH428 abominationsH8441? Would You notH3808 become so angryH599 with us as toH5704 wipe us outH3615, leaving noH369 remnantH7611 or survivorH6413?
