Joshua 23
Darby Bible
1And it cameH935 to pass a long time after that Jehovah had givenH5117 restH5117 to IsraelH3478 from all their enemiesH341 roundH5439 about, and JoshuaH3091 had becomeH1961 oldH2204, advanced in age, 2that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all IsraelH3478, for their eldersH2205, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860, and saidH559 unto them, I am become oldH2205, advanced in age; 3and ye have seenH7200 all that Jehovah your 1GodH430 hath done to all these nationsH1471 because of you. For Jehovah your 2GodH430 is he that hath foughtH3898 for you. 4Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritanceH5159, according to your tribesH7626, these nationsH1471 that remainH7604, from the JordanH3383, as well as all the nationsH1471 that I have cutH3772 off, as far as the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the sun-setting. 5And Jehovah your 3GodH430, he will expel them from before you, and dispossessH3423 them from out of your sight; and ye shall takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776, as Jehovah your 4GodH430 hath saidH1696 unto you. 6And be ye veryH3966 courageous to keepH8104 and to do all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493 not asideH5493 therefrom to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the left; 7that ye enter not among these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604 among you; and ye shall make no mention of the nameH8034 of their 5godsH430, nor cause to swearH7650 [by them], neither serveH5647 them, nor bowH7812 yourselves unto them; 8but ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your 6GodH430, as ye have done unto this dayH3117. 9For Jehovah hath dispossessedH3423 from before you greatH1419 and strong nationsH1471; and as to you, no manH376 hath been able to standH5975 before you unto this dayH3117. 10OneH259 manH376 of you chaseth a thousandH505; for Jehovah your 7GodH430, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath saidH1696 unto you. 11TakeH8104 great heedH8104 therefore unto your soulsH5315, that ye loveH157 Jehovah your 8GodH430. 12For if ye in any wise goH935 backH7725, and cleave unto the residue of these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604 among you, and make marriages with them, and comeH935 in unto them and they unto you: 13knowH3045 for a certainty that Jehovah your 9GodH430 will no more dispossessH3423 these nationsH1471 from before you, and they shall beH1961 snaresH4170 and traps unto you, and scourges in your sidesH6654, and thorns in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which Jehovah your 10GodH430 hath givenH5414 you. 14And behold, I am goingH1980 this dayH3117 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776; and ye knowH3045 in all your heartH3824, and in all your soulH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failed of all the goodH2896 wordsH1697 that Jehovah your 11GodH430 hath spokenH1696 concerning you: all are comeH935 to pass unto you — not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failed thereof. 15But it shall comeH935 to pass, that as every goodH2896 wordH1697 hath beenH1961 fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your 12GodH430 spokeH1696 to you, soH3651 will Jehovah bringH935 upon you every evilH7451 wordH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which Jehovah your 13GodH430 hath givenH5414 you; 16whenH834 ye transgressH5674 the covenantH1285 of Jehovah your 14GodH430 which he commandedH6680 you, and goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 15godsH430, and bowH7812 yourselves unto them, so that the angerH639 of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.
