Joshua 9:11-13

11Our leaders and everyone who lives in our country told us, ‘Take what you need for the trip, and go meet them. Tell them, “We’re at your mercy. Make a treaty with us right now.” ’

12Our bread was warm when we left home to meet with you. Look at it now! It’s dry and crumbling.

13These were new wineskins when we filled them. Look at them now! See how they are splitting! Our clothes and sandals are also worn-out because we have come such a long way.”
