Ezra 9:10-12
Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 And now, O Eloheinu, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Thy mitzvot,
11 Which Thou hast commanded by Thy avadim the nevi’im, saying, HaAretz, unto which ye go to possess it, is an eretz niddah (unclean land) with the filthiness of the Am HaAretz, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their tum’a.
12 Now therefore give not your banot unto their banim, neither take their banot unto your banim, nor further their shalom or their prosperity ad olam, that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land and leave it for your banim ad olam.

Ezra 9:10-12
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)
