Joshua 23:11-13

11Be very careful to love the Lord your God.

12“But if you turn away and go along with the other nations within your ⌞borders⌟, if you intermarry with them or associate with them,

13then you should know that the Lord your God will never again force these people out of your way. Instead, they will be a snare and a trap for you, a whip laid to your sides, and thorns in your eyes until none of you are left in this good land that the Lord your God has given you.
