Joshua 23:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Take good heed therefore unto [a]yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God.
12 Else, if ye go back, and cleave unto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remain with you, and shall [b]make marriages with them, and [c]go unto them, and they to you,
13 Know ye for certain, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: (A)but they shall be a snare and destruction unto you, and a whip on your sides, and thorns in your [d]eyes, until ye perish out of this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.
