Joshua 23:9-16 ▼

9 And YHWH has driven out from before you⁺ great and mighty nations; and as for you⁺, a man has not been able to stand against you⁺ to this day.

10 One man of you⁺ shall chase a thousand, for YHWH your⁺ God is He who is fighting for you⁺ as He promised to you⁺.

11 And exceedingly take heed to yourselves that you love YHWH your⁺ God.

12 For if you⁺ at all turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you⁺, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you⁺,

13 then know for sure that YHWH your⁺ God will no longer drive out these nations from before you⁺, and they shall be to you⁺ snares and traps and scourges on your⁺ sides, and thorns in your⁺ eyes, until you⁺ perish from this good land that YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺.

14 And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth, and you⁺ know in all your⁺ hearts and in all your⁺ souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things that YHWH your⁺ God has spoken concerning you⁺. All have come to pass for you⁺; not one word has failed.

15 And it will come to pass that as have come upon you⁺ all the good things that YHWH your⁺ God has spoken to you⁺, so YHWH will bring upon you⁺ all the word of evil, until He has destroyed you⁺ from this good land that YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺.

16 In your⁺ transgressing the covenant of YHWH your⁺ God that He commanded you⁺, and have gone and served other gods and bowed down to them, the anger of YHWH will burn against you⁺, and you⁺ shall perish quickly from the good land that He has given to you⁺.”
