Verse 1

And it came to pass after{H310} many{H7227} days,{H3117} when Jehovah{H3068} had given rest{H5117} unto Israel{H3478} from all their enemies{H341} round about,{H5439} and Joshua{H3091} was old{H2204} and well stricken{H935} in years;{H3117}

Verse 2

that Joshua{H3091} called{H7121} for all Israel,{H3478} for their elders{H2205} and for their heads,{H7218} and for their judges{H8199} and for their officers,{H7860} and said{H559} unto them, I am old{H2204} and well stricken{H935} in years:{H3117}

Verse 3

and ye have seen{H7200} all that Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} hath done{H6213} unto all these nations{H1471} because{H6440} of you; for Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} he it is that hath fought{H3898} for you.

Verse 4

Behold,{H7200} I have allotted{H5307} unto you these nations{H1471} that remain,{H7604} to be an inheritance{H5159} for your tribes,{H7626} from the Jordan,{H3383} with all the nations{H1471} that I have cut off,{H3772} even unto the great{H1419} sea{H3220} toward the going down of the sun.{H3996}

Verse 5

And Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} he will thrust{H1920} them out from before{H6440} you, and drive{H3423} them from out of your sight;{H6440} and ye shall possess{H3423} their land,{H776} as Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} spake{H1696} unto you.

Verse 6

Therefore be ye very{H3966} courageous{H2388} to keep{H8104} and to do{H6213} all that is written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the law{H8451} of Moses,{H4872} that ye turn{H5493} not aside therefrom to the right hand{H3225} or to the left;{H8040}

Verse 7

that ye come{H935} not among these nations,{H1471} these that remain{H7604} among you; neither make mention{H2142} of the name{H8034} of their gods,{H430} nor cause to swear{H7650} [by them], neither serve{H5647} them, nor bow{H7812} down yourselves unto them;

Verse 8

but cleave{H1692} unto Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} as ye have done{H6213} unto this day.{H3117}

Verse 9

For Jehovah{H3068} hath driven out{H3423} from before{H6440} you great{H1419} nations{H1471} and strong;{H6099} but as for you, no man{H376} hath stood{H5975} before{H6440} you unto this day.{H3117}

Verse 10

One{H259} man{H376} of you shall chase{H7291} a thousand;{H505} for Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} he it is that fighteth{H3898} for you, as he spake{H1696} unto you.

Verse 11

Take good{H3966} heed{H8104} therefore unto yourselves,{H5315} that ye love{H157} Jehovah{H3068} your God.{H430}

Verse 12

Else if ye do at all{H7725} go back,{H7725} and cleave{H1692} unto the remnant{H3499} of these nations,{H1471} even these that remain{H7604} among you, and make marriages{H2859} with them, and go in{H935} unto them, and they to you;

Verse 13

know{H3045} for a certainty{H3045} that Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} will no more{H3254} drive these nations{H1471} from out{H3423} of your sight;{H6440} but they shall be a snare{H6341} and a trap{H4170} unto you, and a scourge{H7850} in your sides,{H6654} and thorns{H6796} in your eyes,{H5869} until ye perish{H6} from off this good{H2896} land{H127} which Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} hath given{H5414} you.

Verse 14

And, behold, this day{H3117} I am going{H1980} the way{H1870} of all the earth:{H776} and ye know{H3045} in all your hearts{H3824} and in all your souls,{H5315} that not one{H259} thing{H1697} hath failed{H5307} of all the good{H2896} things{H1697} which Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} spake{H1696} concerning you; all are come to pass{H935} unto you, not one{H259} thing{H1697} hath failed{H5307} thereof.

Verse 15

And it shall come to pass, that as all the good{H2896} things{H1697} are come{H935} upon you of which Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} spake{H1696} unto you, so will Jehovah{H3068} bring{H935} upon you all the evil{H7451} things,{H1697} until he have destroyed{H8045} you from off this good{H2896} land{H127} which Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} hath given{H5414} you.

Verse 16

When ye transgress{H5674} the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} which he commanded{H6680} you, and go{H1980} and serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} and bow{H7812} down yourselves to them; then will the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} be kindled{H2734} against you, and ye shall perish{H6} quickly{H4120} from off the good{H2896} land{H776} which he hath given{H5414} unto you.
