Joshua 23:14-16
New English Translation
14 “Look, today I am about to die.[a] You know with all your heart and being[b] that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized—not one promise is unfulfilled![c] 15 But in the same way every faithful promise the Lord your God made to you has been realized,[d] it is just as certain that if you disobey, then the Lord will bring on you every judgment[e] until he destroys you from this good land that the Lord your God gave you. 16 If you violate the covenantal laws of the Lord your God which he commanded you to keep,[f] and follow, worship, and bow down to other gods,[g] then the Lord will be very angry with you and you will disappear[h] quickly from the good land that he gave to you.”
