Nehemiah 13:25-27

Tree of Life Version

²⁵ So I rebuked them. I cursed them, beat some of their men and pulled their beards. I made them swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons—or for yourselves. ²⁶ Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin about these things? Yet among many nations there was never any king like him. Yes, he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, the foreign women caused even him to sin. ^{[a] 27} Must we then hear about you doing all this great evil, thereby being unfaithful with our God by marrying foreign women?”
