American Standard Version
"Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you; "
— Joshua 23:12, American Standard Version
“Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:”
“"But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;”
“But if you ever turn away and make alliances with these nations that remain near you, and intermarry with them and establish friendly relations with them,”
“But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:”
“For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:”
“Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:”
For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.
One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.
Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;
know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.
And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
