Joshua 23:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 23:15

Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all the good
things are come upon you which the Lord hath promised you
Of which there was full proof, and it could not be denied:

so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things;
calamities and distresses, by his sore judgments of famine, sword, pestilence, evil beasts, and captivity, in case of disobedience to his commands:

until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your
God hath given you;
for as he is faithful to his promises, so to his threatenings; and from his punctual performance of the one may be argued and expected the sure fulfilment of the other, and which has been abundantly verified in that people; see ( Leviticus 26:1-46 ) ( Deuteronomy 28:1-68 ) and the notes there.

Joshua 23:15 In-Context

13 know with certainty that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
14 "Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed
15 "It shall come about that just as all the good words which the LORD your God spoke to you have come upon you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the threats , until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
16 "When you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which He has given you."
