and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

“ But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.

Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab;for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.Israel joined himself to Baal Peor, and Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel.

You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said,“ I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

Don’t be deceived!“ Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.He raised up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house; for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra,“ We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.Ezra the priest stood up and said to them,“ You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.”Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice,“ We must do as you have said concerning us.But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.

It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her,“ Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”Delilah said to Samson,“ Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”Samson said to her,“ If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him,“ The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.Delilah said to Samson,“ Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”He said to her,“ If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then said to him,“ The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.Delilah said to Samson,“ Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her,“ If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”She fastened it with the pin, and said to him,“ The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.She said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.He told her all his heart and said to her,“ No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying,“ Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.She said,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He awoke out of his sleep, and said,“ I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that Yahweh had departed from him.The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.

They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.

Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

Now therefore don’t give your daughters to their sons. Don’t take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’

Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat,“ Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.
