Joshua 23:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Therefore, for your own sakes be very careful to love the Lord your God.

¹² But if you do turn away and keep close company with the remnant of these nations that remain with you, and if you intermarry with them and intermingle with them and they with you, ¹³ then know for certain that the Lord your God will not continue to drive out these nations from among you, but they will become a trap and a snare for you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from your good land that the Lord your God has given you.
