Chapter 9

KJV - Ezra 9:12

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.

So don't marry your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Don't seek their peace or riches forever. Do this so you can be strong, enjoy the land's good things, and pass it down to your kids forever.
