Joshua 23:12-13

Expanded Bible

¹² “[^LBut] If you turn away from the way of the Lord and ·become friends with [ally yourselves with; cling to] ·these people who are not part of Israel [the remnant of these nations who remain among you] and marry them, ¹³ the Lord your God will not ·help you defeat [drive out] your enemies. They will be like ·traps [^La snare and a trap] for you, like whips on your back and thorns in your eyes, ·and none of you will be left in [^Luntil you perish from] this good land the Lord your God has given you.
