Joshua 23:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Don't have anything to do with the nations that live around you. Don't worship their gods or pray to their idols or make promises in the names of their gods. ⁸ Be as faithful to the Lord as you have always been.

⁹ When you attacked powerful nations, the Lord made them run away, and no one has ever been able to stand up to you.
