Lamentations 1:10
10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
jenter her sanctuary,
those whom you kforbade
to enter your congregation.
Nehemiah 13:1–2

1 On that day they aread from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people. And bin it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God, 2 for they did not meet the people of Israel with bread and water, cbut hired Balaam against them to curse them—dyet our God turned the curse into a blessing.
