That the sons H1121 of God H430 saw H7200 the daughters H1323 of men H120 that they were fair; H2896 and they took H3947 them wives H802 of all H3605 which H834 they chose. H977

And the LORD H3068 said, H559 My spirit H7307 shall not always H5769 strive H1777 with man, H120 for that he also H7683 is flesh: H1320 yet his days H3117 shall be an hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 years. H8141

Lest H6435 you make H3772 a covenant H1285 with the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 and they go a whoring H2181 after H310 their gods, H430 and do sacrifice H2076 to their gods, H430 and one call H7121 you, and you eat H398 of his sacrifice; H2077

And you take H3947 of their daughters H1323 to your sons, H1121 and their daughters H1323 go a whoring H2181 after H310 their gods, H430 and make your sons H1121 go a whoring H2181 after H310 their gods. H430

Else H3588 if H518 you do in any wise go H7725 back, H7725 and join H1692 to the remnant H3499 of these H428 nations, H1471 even these H428 that remain H7604 among H854 you, and shall make marriages H2859 with them, and go H935 in to them, and they to you:

Know H3045 for a certainty that the LORD H3068 your God H430 will no H3808 more H3254 drive H3423 out any of these H428 nations H1471 from before H6440 you; but they shall be snares H6341 and traps H4170 to you, and scourges H7850 in your sides, H6654 and thorns H6796 in your eyes, H5869 until H5704 you perish H6 from off H5921 this H2063 good H2896 land H127 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has given H5414 you.

And they took H3947 their daughters H1323 to be their wives, H802 and gave H5414 their daughters H1323 to their sons, H1121 and served H5647 their gods. H430

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 and forgot H7911 the LORD H3068 their God, H430 and served H5647 Baalim H1168 and the groves. H842

Of the nations H1471 concerning which H834 the LORD H3068 said H559 to the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 You shall not go H935 in to them, neither H3808 shall they come H935 in to you: for surely H403 they will turn H5186 away your heart H3824 after H310 their gods: H430 Solomon H8010 joined H1692 to these H1992 in love. H160

Now when these H428 things were done, H3615 the princes H8269 came H5066 to me, saying, H559 The people H5971 of Israel, H3478 and the priests, H3548 and the Levites, H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the people H5971 of the lands, H776 doing according to their abominations, H8441 even of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Perizzites, H6522 the Jebusites, H2983 the Ammonites, H5984 the Moabites, H4124 the Egyptians, H4713 and the Amorites. H567

For they have taken H5375 of their daughters H1323 for themselves, H1992 and for their sons: H1121 so that the holy H6944 seed H2233 have mingled H6148 themselves with the people H5971 of those lands: H776 yes, the hand H3027 of the princes H8269 and rulers H5461 has been H1961 chief H7223 in this H2088 trespass. H4604

In those H1992 days H3117 also H1571 saw H7200 I Jews H3064 that had married H3427 wives H802 of Ashdod, H795 of Ammon, H5983 and of Moab: H4125

And I contended H7378 with them, and cursed H7043 them, and smote H5221 certain H582 of them, and plucked H4803 off their hair, and made them swear H7650 by God, H430 saying, You shall not give H5414 your daughters H1323 to their sons, H1121 nor H518 take H5375 their daughters H1323 to your sons, H1121 or for yourselves.

Shall we then listen H8085 to you to do H6213 all H3605 this H2063 great H1419 evil, H7451 to transgress H4603 against our God H430 in marrying H3427 strange H5237 wives? H802

Be you not unequally G2086 yoked G2086 together G2086 with unbelievers: G571 for what G5101 fellowship G3352 has righteousness G1343 with unrighteousness? G458 and what G5101 communion G2842 has light G5457 with darkness? G4655

And what G5101 agreement G4783 has the temple G3485 of God G2316 with idols? G1497 for you are the temple G3485 of the living G2198 God; G2316 as God G2316 has said, G2036 I will dwell G1774 in them, and walk G1704 in them; and I will be their God, G2316 and they shall be my people. G2992
