6Then JoshuaH3091 1toreH7167 his clothesH8071 and fellH5307 to the earthH776 on his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 untilH5704 the eveningH6153, both he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and 2they putH5927 dustH6083 on their headsH7218. 7JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “AlasH162, O LordH136 3GodH3068, whyH4100 did You everH5674 bringH5674 thisH2088 peopleH5971 overH5674 the JordanH3383, only to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? IfH3863 onlyH3863 we had been willingH2974 4to dwellH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, whatH4100 can I sayH559 sinceH310 IsraelH3478 has turnedH2015 their 5backH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340? 96For the CanaanitesH3669 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 will hearH8085 of it, and they will surroundH5437 us and cutH3772 offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776. And whatH4100 will You doH6213 for Your greatH1419 nameH8034?”
