Joshua 23:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
7
so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain with you, or mention the name of their gods, or make
anyone
swear
by them,
or serve them, or bow down to them.
8
But you are to cling to the
Lord
your God, as you have done to this day.
9
For the
Lord
has driven out great and mighty nations from before you; and as for you, no one has stood against you to this day.
10
One of your men puts to flight a thousand, for the
Lord
your God is He who fights for you, just as He promised you.
11
So take great care for yourselves that you love the
Lord
your God.
12
For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain with you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,
13
know with certainty that the
Lord
your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the
Lord
your God has given you.
King James Version
Chapter 23
7
That ye come not 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 unto them:
8
But cleave unto the
Lord
your God, as ye have done unto this day.
9
For the
Lord
hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the
Lord
your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the
Lord
your God.
12
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:
13
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
7
and so that you do not associate with these nations remaining among you. Do not call on the names of their gods or make an oath to them; do not serve them or bow in worship to them.
8
Instead, be loyal to the
Lord
your God, as you have been to this day.
9
"The
Lord
has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and no one is able to stand against you to this day.
10
One of you routed a thousand because the
Lord
your God was fighting for you, as he promised.
11
So diligently watch yourselves! Love the
Lord
your God!
12
If you ever turn away and become loyal to the rest of these nations remaining among you, and if you intermarry or associate with them and they with you,
13
know for certain that the
Lord
your God will not continue to drive these nations out before you. They will become a snare and a trap for you, a sharp stick for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you disappear from this good land the
Lord
your God has given you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
7
Make sure you do not associate with the other people still remaining in the land. Do not even mention the names of their gods, much less swear by them or serve them or worship them.
8
Rather, cling tightly to the
Lord
your God as you have done until now.
9
For the
Lord
has driven out great and powerful nations for you, and no one has yet been able to defeat you.
10
Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the
Lord
your God fights for you, just as he has promised.
11
So be very careful to love the
Lord
your God.
12
But if you turn away from him and cling to the customs of the survivors of these nations remaining among you, and if you intermarry with them,
13
then know for certain that the
Lord
your God will no longer drive them out of your land. Instead, they will be a snare and a trap to you, a whip for your backs and thorny brambles in your eyes, and you will vanish from this good land the
Lord
your God has given you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 23
7
that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them,
8
but you shall cling to the
Lord
your God just as you have done to this day.
9
For the
Lord
has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.
10
One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the
Lord
your God who fights for you, just as he promised you.
11
Be very careful, therefore, to love the
Lord
your God.
12
For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,
13
know for certain that the
Lord
your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the
Lord
your God has given you.
New International Version
Chapter 23
7
Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them.
8
But you are to hold fast to the
Lord
your God, as you have until now.
9
"The
Lord
has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you.
10
One of you routs a thousand, because the
Lord
your God fights for you, just as he promised.
11
So be very careful to love the
Lord
your God.
12
"But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them and associate with them,
13
then you may be sure that the
Lord
your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land, which the
Lord
your God has given you.
New King James Version
Chapter 23
7
and
lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause
anyone
to swear
by them;
you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,
8
but you shall hold fast to the
Lord
your God, as you have done to this day.
9
For the
Lord
has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but
as for
you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.
10
One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the
Lord
your God
is
He who fights for you, as He promised you.
11
Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the
Lord
your God.
12
Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,
13
know for certain that the
Lord
your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the
Lord
your God has given you.
