Jos 23:7
23:7 That ye come not among these nations, these that {c} remain
among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods,

bow yourselves unto them:

(d) Let not the judges admit an oath which any shall swear
by their idols.
Jos 23:13
23:13 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 unto you, and scourges in your

off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

earth: and ye know in all your {g} hearts and in all your
souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good
things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all
are come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing hath failed
thereof.
(f) I die according to the course of nature.
(g) Most certainly.
Jos 23:16
23:16 When ye have {h} transgressed the covenant of the LORD

anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall
perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given
unto you.
(h) He shows that no evil can come to man, except he
offend God by disobedience.
