Ezra 9:10-12
New English Translation
10 “And now what are we able to say after this, our God? For we have forsaken your commandments 11 which you commanded us through your servants the prophets with these words:[a] ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land defiled by the impurities of the local residents![b] With their abominations they have filled it from one end to the other with their filthiness. 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[c] forever.’

New International Version
10 “But now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commands(A) 11 you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: ‘The land you are entering(B) to possess is a land polluted(C) by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices(D) they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. 12 Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them(E) at any time, that you may be strong(F) and eat the good things(G) of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.’(H)
