EasyEnglish Bible
25 Joshua said, ‘Why did you cause so much trouble to come to us? The Lord will certainly give you trouble today!’
Then all the Israelites threw stones at him until he died. They also killed his family and they burned all the bodies. 26 They put a big heap of stones over him. They are still there today. That is why the place is still called ‘Trouble Valley’. Then the Lord was not angry with his people any more.
