Joshua 23:12-15

12 For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you ^aand make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, 13 know for certain that ^bthe Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, ^cbut they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.

14 “And now ^dI am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that ^enot one word has failed of all the good things ^{▼▼Or words; also twice in verse 15} that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed. 15 But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you ^gall the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you,

11 But ^syou who forsake the Lord,
who forget ^tmy holy mountain,
who ^uset a table for Fortune
and ^vfill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
^wbecause, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
^xbut you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
