Joshua 1:5-9

5There shall not any manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee: I will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.

6Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for unto this peopleH5971 shalt thou divide for an inheritanceH5157 the landH776, which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them.1

7Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212.2

8This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310; but thou shalt meditateH1897 therein dayH3119 and nightH3915, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and then thou shalt have good successH7919.3

9Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553; be not afraidH6206, neither be thou dismayedH2865: for YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goestH3212.
