And it came to pass a long{H7227} time{H3117} after{H310} that the LORD{H3068} had given rest{H5117}{(H8689)} unto Israel{H3478} from all their enemies{H341}{(H8802)} round about{H5439}, that Joshua{H3091} waxed old{H2204}{(H8804)} and stricken{H935}{(H8804)} in age{H3117}.

And Joshua{H3091} called{H7121}{(H8799)} for all Israel{H3478}, and for their elders{H2205}, and for their heads{H7218}, and for their judges{H8199}{(H8802)}, and for their officers{H7860}{(H8802)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, I am old{H2204}{(H8804)} and stricken{H935}{(H8804)} in age{H3117}:

And ye have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} all that the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} hath done{H6213}{(H8804)} unto all these nations{H1471} because{H6440} of you; for the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} is he that hath fought{H3898}{(H8737)} for you.

Behold{H7200}{(H8798)}, I have divided{H5307}{(H8689)} unto you by lot these nations{H1471} that remain{H7604}{(H8737)}, to be an inheritance{H5159} for your tribes{H7626}, from Jordan{H3383}, with all the nations{H1471} that I have cut off{H3772}{(H8689)}, even unto the great{H1419} sea{H3220} westward{H3996}{H8121}.

And the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}, he shall expel{H1920}{(H8799)} them from before{H6440} you, and drive{H3423}{(H8689)} them from out of your sight{H6440}; and ye shall possess{H3423}{(H8804)} their land{H776}, as the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} hath promised{H1696}{(H8765)} unto you.

Be ye therefore very{H3966} courageous{H2388}{(H8804)} to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} and to do{H6213}{(H8800)} all that is written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of the law{H8451} of Moses{H4872}, that ye turn{H5493}{(H8800)} not aside therefrom to the right hand{H3225} or to the left{H8040};

That ye come{H935}{(H8800)} not among these nations{H1471}, these that remain{H7604}{(H8737)} among you; neither make mention{H2142}{(H8686)} of the name{H8034} of their gods{H430}, nor cause to swear{H7650}{(H8686)} by them, neither serve{H5647}{(H8799)} them, nor bow{H7812}{(H8691)} yourselves unto them:

But cleave{H1692}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}, as ye have done{H6213}{(H8804)} unto this day{H3117}.

For the LORD{H3068} hath driven out{H3423}{(H8686)} from before{H6440} you great{H1419} nations{H1471} and strong{H6099}: but as for you, no man{H376} hath been able to stand{H5975}{(H8804)} before{H6440} you unto this day{H3117}.

One{H259} man{H376} of you shall chase{H7291}{(H8799)} a thousand{H505}: for the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}, he it is that fighteth{H3898}{(H8737)} for you, as he hath promised{H1696}{(H8765)} you.

Take good{H3966} heed{H8104}{(H8738)} therefore unto yourselves{H5315}, that ye love{H157}{(H8800)} the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}.

Else if ye do in any wise{H7725}{(H8800)} go back{H7725}{(H8799)}, and cleave{H1692}{(H8804)} unto the remnant{H3499} of these nations{H1471}, even these that remain{H7604}{(H8737)} among you, and shall make marriages{H2859}{(H8694)} with them, and go in{H935}{(H8804)} unto them, and they to you:

Know{H3045}{(H8799)} for a certainty{H3045}{(H8800)} that the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} will no more{H3254}{(H8686)} drive out{H3423}{(H8687)} any of these nations{H1471} from before{H6440} you; but they shall be snares{H6341} and traps{H4170} unto you, and scourges{H7850} in your sides{H6654}, and thorns{H6796} in your eyes{H5869}, until ye perish{H6}{(H8800)} from off this good{H2896} land{H127} which the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} you.

And, behold, this day{H3117} I am going{H1980}{(H8802)} the way{H1870} of all the earth{H776}: and ye know{H3045}{(H8804)} in all your hearts{H3824} and in all your souls{H5315}, that not one{H259} thing{H1697} hath failed{H5307}{(H8804)} of all the good{H2896} things{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} spake{H1696}{(H8765)} concerning you; all are come to pass{H935}{(H8804)} unto you, and not one{H259} thing{H1697} hath failed{H5307}{(H8804)} thereof.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good{H2896} things{H1697} are come{H935}{(H8804)} upon you, which the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} promised{H1696}{(H8765)} you; so shall the LORD{H3068} bring{H935}{(H8686)} upon you all evil{H7451} things{H1697}, until he have destroyed{H8045}{(H8687)} you from off this good{H2896} land{H127} which the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} you.

When ye have transgressed{H5674}{(H8800)} the covenant{H1285} of the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}, which he commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} you, and have gone{H1980}{(H8804)} and served{H5647}{(H8804)} other{H312} gods{H430}, and bowed{H7812}{(H8694)} yourselves to them; then shall the anger{H639} of the LORD{H3068} be kindled{H2734}{(H8804)} against you, and ye shall perish{H6}{(H8804)} quickly{H4120} from off the good{H2896} land{H776} which he hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} unto you.
