Nehemiah 13:27

Should we then in your case hear that you do all this great evil, thereby being unfaithful to our God by marrying ¹  foreign wives?”

Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women?"

"Do we then hear about you that you have committed all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?"

How could you even think of committing this sinful deed and acting unfaithfully toward God by marrying foreign women?"

Do you call this obedience--engaging in this extensive evil, showing yourselves faithless to God by marrying foreign wives?"

Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and act treacherously against 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 then in your case hear that you do all this great evil, thereby being unfaithful to our God by marrying ¹  foreign wives?”
