Ezra 9:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ “Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments, ¹¹ which You have commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land with the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from end to end and ^(A)with their impurity. ¹² So now do not ^(B)give your daughters to their sons nor take their daughters to your sons, and ^(C)never seek their peace or their prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and ^(D)leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’
