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.
CHAPTER 24
And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for
their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
2
And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the
other side of the flood in old time,
even
Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor:
and they served other gods.
3
And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and
led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
4
And I
gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his
children went down into Egypt.
5
I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to
that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
6
And I brought your fathers out of
Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and
horsemen unto the Red sea.
7
And when they cried unto the L
ORD
, he put darkness between you
and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen
what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
8
And I brought you into
the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I
gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
9
Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called
