Joshua 2:7-11

New International Version

⁷ So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan,^(A) and as soon as the pursuers^(B) had gone out, the gate was shut.

⁸ Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof^{(C) 9} and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear^(D) of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. ¹⁰ We have heard how the Lord dried up^(E) the water of the Red Sea^[a] for you when you came out of Egypt,^(F) and what you did to Sihon and Og,^(G) the two kings of the Amorites^(H) east of the Jordan,^(I) whom you completely destroyed.^{[b](J) 11} When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear^(K) and everyone’s courage failed^(L) because of you,^(M) for the Lord your God^(N) is God in heaven above and on the earth^(O) below.
