Joshua 9:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ So our elders and our people said to us, ‘Take food for your journey and go and meet the Israelites. Tell them, “We are your servants. Make a peace agreement with us.”’

¹² “Look at our bread. On the day we left home to come to you it was warm and fresh, but now it is dry and moldy. ¹³ Look at our leather wine bags. They were new and filled with wine, but now they are cracked and old. Our clothes and sandals are worn out from the long journey.”
