Joshua 23:5-15

5 The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.
6 Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:
7 Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:
8 But cleave ye unto the Lord your God, as you have done until this day.
9 And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.
10 One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.
11 This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.
12 But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:
13 Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you.
14 Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed
15 Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,
