Joshua 7:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the Ark of the Lord, until the eventide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy us? would God we had been content to dwell on the [a]other side Jordan.
8 Oh Lord what shall I say, when Israel turn their backs before their enemies?
