Genesis 6:2-5

2the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3Then the Lord said, a“My Spirit shall not abide in
Or  My Spirit shall not contend with
man forever, cfor he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
4The Nephilim
Or giants
were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

5 eThe Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every fintention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Deuteronomy 17:17

17And he gshall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, hnor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold.

1 Kings 11:8

8And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods.

Nehemiah 13:23-27

23In those days also I saw the Jews iwho had married women jof Ashdod, kAmmon, and lMoab. 24And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and they could not speak the language of Judah, but only the language of each people. 25 mAnd I confronted them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair. nAnd I made them take an oath in the name of God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves. 26 oDid not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? pAmong the many nations there was no king like him, and he was qbeloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin. 27Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and ract treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?”

Proverbs 2:16

16 So syou will be delivered from the forbidden
Hebrew strange
woman,
from uthe adulteress
Hebrew foreign woman
with wher smooth words,

Proverbs 5:8-20

8Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
9lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your xlabors go to the house of a foreigner,
11and at the end of your life you ygroan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12and you say, zHow I hated discipline,
and my heart aadespised reproof!
13I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 abI am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
15 Drink acwater from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16Should your adsprings be scattered abroad,
streams of water aein the streets?
17 afLet them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18Let your agfountain be blessed,
and ahrejoice in aithe wife of your youth,
19a lovely ajdeer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts akfill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated
Hebrew  be led astray; also verse 20
always in her love.
20Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with ama forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of anan adulteress?
Hebrew  a foreign woman

Proverbs 6:24

24to preserve you from the evil woman,
Revocalization (compare Septuagint) yields  from the wife of a neighbor

from the smooth tongue of aqthe adulteress.
Hebrew  the foreign woman

Proverbs 7:5

5to keep you from asthe forbidden
Hebrew strange
woman,
from authe adulteress
Hebrew  the foreign woman
with her smooth words.
