Joshua 1:7-9

7Only be strong and avery courageous, being careful to do according to all the law bthat Moses my servant commanded you. cDo not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success
Or  may act wisely
wherever you go.
8This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but eyou shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9Have I not commanded you? fBe strong and courageous. gDo not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Jeremiah 9:3

3 hThey bend their tongue like a bow;

Septuagint; Hebrew  and not for truth they have grown strong
in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
jand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
