Joshua 23:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 For if you ever turn away from him and join with the remnant of these nations that survive among you, by intermarrying and intermingling with them,(A) 13 know for certain that the Lord, your God, will no longer dispossess these nations at your approach. Instead they will be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge for your sides and thorns for your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord, your God, has given you.(B)
14 “Today, as you see, I am going the way of all the earth.[a] So now acknowledge with your whole heart and soul that not one of all the promises the Lord, your God, made concerning you has failed. Every one has come true for you; not one has failed.
