But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

2 Corinthians 6 14-2 Corinthians 6 16
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:“ I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”

And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.Then he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.And Ahab made a wooden image.

Ezra 10:2-17
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra,“ We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.Now therefore, let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and those who have been born to them, according to the advice of my master and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it.”Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath.Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt of those from the captivity.And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem,and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain.Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them,“ You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel.Now therefore, make confession to the Lord God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice,“ Yes! As you have said, so we must do.But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter.Please, let the leaders of our entire assembly stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter.”Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support.Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers’ households, were set apart by the fathers’ households, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.By the first day of the first month they finished questioning all the men who had taken pagan wives.

Judges 16:4-21
Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her,“ Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you.”And Samson said to her,“ If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them.Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.Then Delilah said to Samson,“ Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with.”So he said to her,“ If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But 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 what you may be bound with.” And he said to her,“ If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom”—So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom.Then 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.”And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death,that he told her all his heart, and said to her,“ No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall 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 once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.And she said,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said,“ I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison.
