Joshua 23:13-15
New English Translation
13 know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you;[a] they will be a whip that tears[b] your sides and thorns that blind[c] your eyes until you disappear[d] from this good land the Lord your God gave you.
14 “Look, today I am about to die.[e] You know with all your heart and being[f] that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized—not one promise is unfulfilled![g] 15 But in the same way every faithful promise the Lord your God made to you has been realized,[h] it is just as certain that if you disobey, then the Lord will bring on you every judgment[i] until he destroys you from this good land that the Lord your God gave you.
