Joshua 23:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ Be very careful to love the Lord your God.

¹² “But if you turn away and go along with the other nations within your ⌞borders⌟, if you intermarry with them or associate with them, ¹³ then you should know that the Lord your God will never again force these people out of your way. Instead, they will be a snare and a trap for you, a whip laid to your sides, and thorns in your eyes until none of you are left in this good land that the Lord your God has given you.
