Joshua 23:13

23:13 know for certain that the Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; ¹  they will be a whip that tears ²  your sides and thorns that blind ³  your eyes until you disappear ⁴  from this good land the Lord your God gave you.

Joshua 23:15

23:15 But in the same way every faithful promise the Lord your God made to you has been realized, ⁵  it is just as certain, if you disobey, that the Lord will bring on you every judgment ⁶  until he destroys you from this good land which the Lord your God gave you.
