Deuteronomy 20:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you the victory!’

⁵ “Then the officers of the army shall address the men in this manner: ‘Has anyone just built a new house but not yet dedicated it? If so, go home! For you might be killed in the battle, and someone else would dedicate it! ⁶ Has anyone just planted a vineyard but not yet eaten any of its fruit? If so, go home! You might die in battle and someone else would eat it!
