Joshua 23:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.

¹² But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:

¹³ Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you.
