Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.On his deathbed, Joshua tells the children of Israel that God will be on their side as long as they are devoutly on his. If they turn away from God, he will make their lives one of misery until every last one of them is dead.
