³ Furthermore, ^(A)you shall not intermarry with them: you shall not give your ^[a]daughters to ^[b]their sons, nor shall you take ^[c]their daughters for your ^[d]sons. ⁴ For ^[e]they will turn your ^[f]sons away from ^[g]following Me, and they will serve other gods; then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you and ^(B)He will quickly destroy you.

² For ^(A)they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that ^(B)the holy ^[a]race has ^(C)intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the officials and the leaders have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness.”

²⁵ So ^(A)I quarreled with them and cursed them, and ^(B)struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and ^(C)made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take any of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.
