Ezra 9:12 Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons… I. THEY ARE OPPOSED TO THE EXPRESS COMMAND OF GOD (2 Corinthians 6:14). II. THEY ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE MOST SACRED ASPECTS AND ENDS OF MARRIAGE. III. THEY IMPERIL THE SALVATION OF THE SOUL. IV. THEY ARE INIMICAL TO WISE AND HARMONIOUS HOME GOVERNMENT. V. THEY ARE DETRIMENTAL TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN OF THE MARRIAGE. (William Jones.} Parallel Verses KJV: Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. |
