Nehemiah 13:25-27
New International Reader's Version
25 So I gave them a warning. I cursed them. I beat up some of them. I pulled their hair out. I had them make a promise in God’s name. I said, “You must promise not to give your daughters to be married to their sons. You must promise not to let their daughters marry your sons. And you must not marry their daughters either. 26 That’s how Solomon, the king of Israel, sinned. He married women from other nations. There wasn’t a king like him anywhere. His God loved him. In fact, God made him king over the whole nation of Israel. But even he was led into sin by women from other lands. 27 Now I hear that you too are doing all of the same terrible and evil things. You aren’t being faithful to our God. You are marrying women from other lands.”

Nehemiah 13:25-27
New International Version
25 I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath(A) in God’s name and said: “You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.(B) 26 Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him.(C) He was loved by his God,(D) and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.(E) 27 Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying(F) foreign women?”
