MLV(i)
1 And it happened after many days, when Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around and Joshua was old and well stricken in years,
2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads and for their judges and for their officers and said to them, I am old and well stricken in years,
3 and you* have seen all that Jehovah your* God has done to all these nations because of you*, for Jehovah your* God, he it is who has fought for you*.
4 Behold, I have allotted to you* these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your* tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun. 5 And Jehovah your* God, he will thrust them out from before you* and drive them from out of your* sight. And you* will possess their land, as Jehovah your* God spoke to you*.
6 Therefore be you* very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you* not turn aside from there to the right hand or to the left; 7 that you* do not come among these nations, these that remain among you*, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves down to them, 8 but cling to Jehovah your* God as you* have done to this day.
9 For Jehovah has driven out from before you* great nations and strong. But as for you*, no man has stood before you* to this day. 10 One man of you* will chase a thousand, for Jehovah your* God, he it is who fights for you*, as he spoke to you*.
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you* love Jehovah your* God. 12 Else if you* do at all go back and cling to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you* and make marriages with them and go in to them and they to you*, 13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your* God will no more drive these nations from out of your* sight, but they will be a snare and a trap to you* and a scourge in your* sides and thorns in your* eyes, until you* perish from this good land which Jehovah your* God has given you*.
14 And behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you* know in all your* hearts and in all your* souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Jehovah your* God spoke concerning you*. All have happen to you*; not one thing has failed of it.
15 And it will happen, that as all the good things have come upon you* of which Jehovah your* God spoke to you*, so will Jehovah bring upon you* all the evil things, until he has destroyed you* from this good land which Jehovah your* God has given you*. 16 When you* transgress the covenant of Jehovah your* God, which he commanded you* and go and serve other gods and bow down yourselves to them, then the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you* and you* will perish quickly from the good land which he has given to you*.
