Joshua 23:11-16
11Take goodH3966 heedH8104 therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157 YhwhH3068 your GodH430.1
12Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
13KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that YhwhH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
14And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
15Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall YhwhH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
16When ye have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680 you, and have goneH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of YhwhH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.
