Ezra 9:1
A Prayer of Ezra
9:1 Now when these things had been completed, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the local residents who practice detestable things similar to those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Ezra 9:12
9:12 Therefore do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons, and do not take their daughters in marriage for your sons. Do not ever seek their peace or welfare, so that you may be strong and may eat the good of the land and may leave it as an inheritance for your children
forever.’
Nehemiah 13:23-25
13:23 Also in those days I saw the men of Judah who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
13:24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod (or the language of one of the other peoples mentioned) and were unable to speak the language of Judah.
13:25 So I entered a complaint with them. I called down a curse on them, and I struck some of the men and pulled out their hair. I had them swear by God saying, “You will not marry off your daughters to their sons, and you will not take any of their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!
Psalms 106:35
106:35 They mixed in with the nations
and learned their ways.
Ezekiel 23:4-11
23:4 Oholah was the name of the older and Oholibah
the name of her younger sister. They became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters.
Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
23:5 “Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians – warriors
23:6 clothed in blue, governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
23:7 She bestowed her sexual favors on them; all of them were the choicest young men of Assyria. She defiled herself with all whom she desired – with all their idols.
23:8 She did not abandon the prostitution she had practiced in Egypt; for in her youth men had sex with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and ravished her.
23:9 Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
23:10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became notorious among women, and they executed judgments against her.
23:11 “Her sister Oholibah watched this, but she became more corrupt in her lust than her sister had been, and her acts of prostitution were more numerous than those of her sister.
Malachi 2:11
2:11 Judah has become disloyal, and unspeakable sins have been committed in Israel and Jerusalem.
For Judah has profaned
the holy things that the
Lord loves and has turned to a foreign god!
