Nehemiah 13:25-27

Christian Standard Bible

²⁵ I rebuked them, cursed them, beat some of their men, and pulled out their hair.^(A) I forced them to take an oath^(B) before God and said, “You must not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters as wives for your sons or yourselves!^{(C) 26} Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.^{(D) 27} Why then should we hear about you doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?” ^(E)
