Joshua 23

Revised Version 1895

1And it cameH935 to passH935 afterH310 manyH7227 daysH3117, when the LORDH3068 had givenH5117 restH5117 unto IsraelH3478 from allH3605 their enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH1961, and JoshuaH3091 was oldH2204 and wellH834 stricken in yearsH3117; 2that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for allH3605 IsraelH3478, for their eldersH2205 and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199 and for their officersH7860, and saidH559 unto them, I am oldH2205 and well stricken in yearsH3117: 3and ye have seenH7200 allH3605 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 becauseH3588 of youH859; for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he it is that hath foughtH3898 for youH859. 4BeholdH7200, I have allottedH5307 unto youH834 theseH428 nationsH1471 that remainH7604, to be an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, from JordanH3383, with allH3605 the nationsH1471 that I have cutH3772 offH3772, evenH853 unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 towardH4480 the goingH5307 downH5307 of the sunH8121. 5And the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he shall thrustH1920 them outH3423 from beforeH6440 youH834, and driveH3423 them from outH3423 of your sightH6440; and ye shall possessH3423 their landH776, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spake unto youH834. 6Therefore be ye veryH3966 courageousH2388 to keepH8104 and to doH6213 allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493 notH1115 asideH5493 therefrom to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the leftH8040; 7that ye comeH935 notH3808 among theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 that remainH7604 among youH935; neitherH3808 makeH5647 mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of their godsH430, norH3808 cause to swearH7650 by them, neitherH3808 serveH5647 them, norH3808 bowH7812 downH7812 yourselves unto them: 8but cleave unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213 unto this dayH3117. 9For the LORDH3068 hath drivenH3423 outH3423 from beforeH6440 youH859 greatH1419 nationsH1471 and strongH6099: but as for youH859, noH3808 manH376 hath stoodH5975 beforeH6440 youH859 unto this dayH3117. 10One manH376 of youH834 shall chaseH7291 a thousandH505: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he it is that fighteth for youH834, as he spake unto youH834. 11TakeH8104 good heedH8104 therefore unto yourselves, that ye loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 12Else ifH518 ye doH518 in anyH3588 wise goH935 backH7725, and cleave unto the remnantH7604 of theseH428 nationsH1471, evenH3588 theseH428 that remainH7604 among youH3588, and makeH7725 marriages with them, and goH935 in unto them, and they to youH3588: 13knowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will noH3808 moreH3254 driveH3423 theseH428 nationsH1471 from outH3423 of your sightH5869; but they shall be a snareH4170 and a trapH4170 unto youH834, and a scourge in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, untilH5704 ye perishH6 from offH5921 this goodH2896 landH127 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 youH834. 14And, beholdH2009, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of allH3605 the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in allH3605 your heartsH3824 and in allH3605 your soulsH5315, that notH3808 one thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of allH3605 the goodH2896 things whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spake concerning youH834; allH3605 are comeH935 to passH935 unto youH834, notH3808 one thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof. 15And it shall comeH935 to passH935, that as allH3605 the goodH2896 things are comeH935 uponH5921 youH834 of whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spake unto youH834, soH3651 shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 uponH5921 youH834 allH3605 the evilH7451 things, untilH5704 he have destroyedH8045 youH834 from offH5921 this goodH2896 landH127 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 youH834. 16When ye transgressH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, whichH834 he commandedH6680 youH834, and goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowH7812 downH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 againstH5921 youH834, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from offH5921 the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 he hath givenH5414 unto youH834.
