9 So shall the Lord cast out before you great nations and mightie, as no man hath ben able to stande before you hytherto. 10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lorde your God he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. 11 Take good heede therfore vnto your selues, that ye loue the Lord your God. 12 Els, if ye go backe and cleaue vnto the rest of these nations that remaine with you, & shall make mariages with them, and go in vnto them, and they to you: 13 Be ye sure that the Lorde your God will no more cast out all these nations from before you: but they shalbe snares and trappes vnto you, and scourges in your sides, & thornes in your eyes, vntill ye perishe from of this good land whiche the Lorde your God hath geuen you.
