And it came to pass after many days, after the Lord had caused Israel to cease from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in days.
And Joshua summoned all the sons of Israel and their elders and their rulers and their scribes and their judges, and he said to them, I have grown old and have advanced in days.
See, I have cast for you these nations that remain for you by lot among your tribes, from the Jordan, all the nations that I destroyed, and from the great sea toward the setting of the sun, it shall be your border.
And the Lord your God, this one will utterly destroy them from before you until they perish, and he will send against them the wild beasts until he utterly destroys them and their kings from before you, and you shall inherit their land, as the Lord your God spoke to you.
Be very strong, therefore, to keep and to do all the things written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside to the right or to the left.
so that you may not enter among these nations that are left behind, and the names of their gods shall not be named among you, nor may you worship them, nor may you serve them
Know that the Lord will by no means continue to destroy these nations from before you, and they shall be for you into traps and into stumbling blocks and into nails in your heels and into darts in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God gave you.
But I am running the way of all those on the earth, and you shall know in your heart and in your soul that not one word has fallen from all the words that the Lord your God spoke concerning all the things belonging to you; not one of them has failed.
And it shall be, just as all the good words which the Lord spoke to you have come upon you, so the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil words until he destroys you from this good land which the Lord gave you.
