Do you think that we will let you get away with this sinful deed?”
Also in those days I saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. Half the children couldn’t even speak the language of Judah; all they knew was the language of Ashdod or some other tongue. So I took those men to task, gave them a piece of my mind, even slapped some of them and jerked them by the hair. I made them swear to God: “Don’t marry your daughters to their sons; and don’t let their daughters marry your sons—and don’t you yourselves marry them! Didn’t Solomon the king of Israel sin because of women just like these? Even though there was no king quite like him, and God loved him and made him king over all Israel, foreign women were his downfall. Do you call this obedience—engaging in this extensive evil, showing yourselves faithless to God by marrying foreign wives?”

Should we then in your case hear that you do all this great evil, thereby being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign wives?”
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.”
Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women?”
Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women?’
Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?”
Should we hear now that you also are sinning in the same way by not being faithful to our God, by marrying women from other nations?”
