1 A long time after that, when the Lord had given Israel rest from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had grown old and advanced in years,

¶ And it came to pass many days after the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

2 J oshua summoned all Israel, their elders, heads, judges, and officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in years.

And Joshua called for all Israel and for their elders and for their princes and for their judges and for their officers and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age;

3 A nd you have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; for it is the Lord your God Who has fought for you.

and ye have seen all that the LORD your God has done with all these Gentiles in your presence; for the LORD your God has fought for you.

4 B ehold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain, with all the nations I have cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea on the west.

Behold, I have divided unto you as inheritance unto your tribes all these Gentiles, those that remain as well as those that are destroyed, from the Jordan unto the great sea towards the going down of the sun.

5 T he Lord your God will thrust them out from before you and drive them out of your sight, and you shall possess their land, as the Lord your God promised you.

And the LORD your God, shall expel them from before you and drive them from out of your presence; and ye shall possess their lands, as the LORD your God has promised unto you.

6 S o be very courageous and steadfast to keep and do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, turning not aside from it to the right hand or the left,

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses without turning aside to the right hand or to the left

7 T hat you may not mix with these nations that remain among you, or make mention of the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them.

that ye not enter in among these Gentiles that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them,

8 B ut cling to the Lord your God as you have done to this day.

but cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

9 F or the Lord has driven out from before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no man has been able to withstand you to this day.

For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong Gentiles; and until now no one has been able to stand before your face.

10 O ne man of you shall put to flight a thousand, for it is the Lord your God Who fights for you, as He promised you.

One man of you has chased a thousand; for the LORD your God, he himself has fought for you, as he has promised you.

11 B e very watchful of yourselves, therefore, to love the Lord your God.

¶ Therefore take heed for your souls that ye love the LORD your God.

12 F or if you turn back and adhere to the remnant of these nations left among you and make marriages with them, you marrying their women and they yours,

Because if ye do in any wise go back and cleave unto the remnant of these Gentiles that remain among you and shall make marriages with them and go in unto them and they to you,

13 K now with certainty that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations from before you; but they shall be a snare and trap to you, and a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive out any of these Gentiles from before you, but they shall be snares and traps unto you and scourges in your sides and thorns in your eyes until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

14 A nd behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. Know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one thing of them has failed.

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing has failed thereof.

15 B ut just as all good things which the Lord promised you have come to you, so will the Lord carry out every evil upon you, until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

Therefore it shall come to pass that as all the good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you, so shall the LORD bring upon you all the evil things until he has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you

16 I f you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, if you serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land He has given you.

when ye shall transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, going in and serving other gods and bowing yourselves to them. And the anger of the LORD shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given unto you.
