Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness?Or what harmony does Christ have with Belial, or what does a believer share with an unbeliever?Or what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,“ I will dwell among them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Ezra 10:2-17
Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra,“ We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.So now let’s make a covenant with our God to send away all the wives and their children, following the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the Law.Arise! For this matter is your responsibility, but we will be with you; be courageous and act.”Then Ezra stood and made the leading priests, the Levites, and all Israel take an oath that they would do according to this proposal; so they took the oath.Then Ezra rose from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. Although he went there, he did not eat bread nor drink water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.So they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the exiles, that they were to assemble at Jerusalem,and that whoever did not come within three days, in accordance with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his property would be forfeited, and he himself would be excluded from the assembly of the exiles.So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sat in the public square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and the heavy rain.Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them,“ You have been unfaithful and have married foreign wives, adding to the guilt of Israel.Now therefore, make confession to the Lord God of your fathers and do His will; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives.”Then all the assembly replied with a loud voice,“ It is our duty to do exactly as you have said!However, there are many people, it is the rainy season, and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, because we have done a great wrong in this matter.Please let our leaders represent all the assembly and have all those in our cities who have married foreign wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of each city, until the fierce anger of our God on account of this matter is turned away from us.”Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, with Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.But the exiles did so. And Ezra the priest selected men who were the heads of fathers’ households for each of their father’s households, all of them by name. So they convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.And they finished investigating all the men who had married foreign wives by the first day of the first month.

Judges 16:4-21
After this it came about that he was in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.So the governors of the Philistines came up to her and said to her,“ Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we can overpower him so that we may bind him to humble him. Then we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound to humble you.”And Samson said to her,“ If they bind me with seven fresh animal tendons that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”Then the governors of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh animal tendons that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.Now she had men prepared for an ambush in an inner room. And she said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he tore the tendons to pieces just like a thread of flax is torn apart when it comes too close to fire. So his strength was not discovered.Then Delilah said to Samson,“ Behold, you have toyed with me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound.”Then He said to her,“ If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For the men in the ambush were waiting in the inner room. But he tore the ropes from his arms like thread.Then Delilah said to Samson,“ Up to now you have toyed with me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound.” And he said to her,“ If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web[ and fasten it with the pin, then I will be weak like any other man.”So while he slept, Delilah wove the seven locks of his hair with the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.Then she said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have toyed with me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is.”And it came about, when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her,“ A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man.”When Delilah saw that he had told her all that was in his heart, she sent word and called the governors of the Philistines, saying,“ Come up once more, for he has told me all that is in his heart.” Then the governors of the Philistines came up to her and brought up the money in their hands.And she made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to humble him, and his strength left him.She said,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said,“ I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.Then the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and restrained him with bronze chains, and he became a grinder in the prison.
