9 For the LORD has destroyed from before you great and strong nations; and no man has been able to stand against you to this day. 10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for the LORD your God is with you, he it is who fights for you, as he has promised you. 11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, to revere the LORD your God. 12 For if you ever turn back and join the remnant of these nations that remain among you and make marriages with them and mix with them and they with you; 13 Then know for sure that the LORD your God will no more destroy these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and spears in your sides and fishhooks in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
