Nehemiah 13:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing? and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin.

²⁷ And shall we also be disobedient and do all this great evil to transgress against our God, and marry strange women?
