Joshua 23:8
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
And it came
to pass a long time after that the
L
ORD
had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old
and
stricken in age.
2
And Joshua called for all Israel,
and
for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old
and
stricken in age:
3
And ye have seen all that the
L
ORD
your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the
L
ORD
your God
is
he that hath fought for you.
4
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
5
And the
L
ORD
your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the
L
ORD
your God hath promised unto you.
6
Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom
to
the right hand or
to
the left;
7
That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear
by them
, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
But cleave unto the
L
ORD
your God, as ye have done unto this day.
9
For the
L
ORD
hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but
as for
you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the
L
ORD
your God, he
it is
that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the
L
ORD
your God.
12
Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations,
even
these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
13
Know for a certainty that the
L
ORD
your God will no more drive out
any of
these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the
L
ORD
your God hath given you.
14
And, behold, this day I
am
going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the
L
ORD
your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you,
and
not one thing hath failed thereof.
15
Therefore it shall come to pass,
that
as all good things are come upon you, which the
L
ORD
your God promised you; so shall the
L
ORD
bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the
L
ORD
your God hath given you.
16
When ye have transgressed the covenant of the
L
ORD
your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the
L
ORD
be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
