Ezra:9:10-13

* "
And now ,
O our God ,
what shall we say after this ?
For we have forsaken thy commandments ,
*
which thou didst command by thy servants the prophets ,
saying , `
The land which you are entering ,
to take possession of it ,
is a land unclean with the pollutions of the peoples of the lands ,
with their abominations which have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness .
*
Therefore give not your daughters to their sons ,
neither take their daughters for your sons ,
and never seek their peace or prosperity ,
that you may be strong ,
and eat the good of the land ,
and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever .'
*
And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt ,
seeing that thou ,
our God ,
hast punished us less than our iniquities deserved and hast given us such a remnant as this ,
