- Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
- And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
- In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
- And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
- And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.

- 我就警戒他们说,你们为何在城外住宿呢。若再这样,我必下手拿办你们。从此以后,他们在安息日不再来了。
- 我吩咐利未人洁净自己,来守城门,使安息日为圣。我的神阿,求你因这事记念我,照你的大慈爱怜恤我。
- 那些日子,我也见犹大人娶了亚实突,亚扪,摩押的女子为妻。
- 他们的儿女说话,一半是亚实突的话,不会说犹大的话,所说的是照着各族的方言。
- 我就斥责他们,咒诅他们,打了他们几个人,拔下他们的头发,叫他们指着神起誓,必不将自己的女儿嫁给外邦人的儿子,也不为自己和儿子娶他们的女儿。
