Joshua 22:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ “This is what the entire community of the Lord has to say: ‘What is this treacherous act by which you have acted deceitfully against the God of Israel by turning away from following the Lord today, and by building yourselves an altar today, so you can rebel against the Lord? ¹⁷ Isn’t the evil that happened at Peor enough for us, from which we have yet to be completely cleansed even to this point,^[a] and because of which a plague came upon the community of the Lord? ¹⁸ Now then, are you turning away from following the Lord today? If you rebel against the Lord today, by tomorrow he will be angry with the entire community of Israel.
