Joshua 23 — Context

7

That you come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:

8

But hold to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

9

For the LORD has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.

10

One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fights for you, as he has promised you.

11

Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

12

Else if you do in any wise go back, and join to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you:

13

Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
