JOS-23:1 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had
given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that
Joshua waxed old [and] stricken in age.
JOS-23:2 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:
JOS-23:3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done
unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God
[is] he that hath fought for you.
JOS-23:4 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.
JOS-23:5 And the LORD 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 LORD your God hath promised unto you.
JOS-23:6 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;
JOS-23:7 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:
JOS-23:8 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto
this day.
JOS-23:9 For the LORD 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.
JOS-23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD
your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised
you.
JOS-23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love
the LORD your God.
JOS-23:12 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:
JOS-23:13 Know for a certainty that the LORD 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 LORD your God hath given you.
JOS-23:14 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
LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto
you, [and] not one thing hath failed thereof.
JOS-23:15 Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good
things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you;
so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have
destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God
hath given you.
JOS-23:16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD
your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other
gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the
LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from
off the good land which he hath given unto you.
