Joshua 23:12
King James Version
“Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:”
Context
9For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
12Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
13Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
14And, behold, this day I going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.
15Therefore it shall come to pass, as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
