Joshua 23:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ The Lord your God will expel them in front of you, driving them out of your sight. You will take possession of this land, just as the Lord your God promised you. ⁶ Stand very strong, then, so you can obey and carry out everything written in the Book of the Law of Moses, turning neither to the right nor to the left of it. ⁷ That way, you will not mingle with those nations that remain among you, nor mention the name of their gods, nor make oaths by them,^[a] nor serve them, nor worship them.
