Joshua 7:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Joshua was so upset that he tore his clothes. He fell with his face to the ground in front of the Lord's Covenant Box. He stayed there until evening time, together with the Israelite leaders. They all put dirt on their heads.^{[a] 7} Joshua said, ‘Almighty Lord, why did you ever bring us over the Jordan River? Did you bring us here so that the Amorites could destroy us? It would have been better for us to stay on the other side of the Jordan! ⁸ Now our army has had to run away from our enemies! Lord, there is nothing more for me to say!
