¹² Now therefore, ^(A)do not give your daughters as wives for their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons; and ^(B)never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and ^(C)leave it as an inheritance to your children forever.’ ¹³ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God ^(D)have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this, ¹⁴ should we ^(E)again break Your commandments, and ^(F)join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be ^(G)angry with us until You had ^[a]consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?
