Joshua 7:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ Joshua cried out to the Lord, “O Jehovah, why have you brought us over the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? Why weren’t we content with what we had? Why didn’t we stay on the other side? ⁸ O Lord, what am I to do now that Israel has fled from her enemies! ⁹ For when the Canaanites and the other nearby nations hear about it, they will surround us and attack us and wipe us out. And then what will happen to the honor of your great name?”
