Joshua 23:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵The 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 ^[a]promised you.

⁶So 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,

⁷That 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.
