1	And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest# unto Israel from all their enemies# round about, that Joshua waxed old# and stricken# in age. [stricken...: Heb. come into days]
			2	And Joshua called# for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges# , and for their officers# , and said# unto them, I am old# and stricken# in age:
			3	And ye have seen# all that the LORD your God hath done# unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought# for you.
			4	Behold# , I have divided# unto you by lot these nations that remain# , to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off# , even unto the great sea westward# . [westward: Heb. at the sunset]
			5	And the LORD your God, he shall expel# them from before you, and drive# them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess# their land, as the LORD your God hath promised# unto you.
			6	Be ye therefore very courageous# to keep# and to do# all that is written# in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn# not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
			7	That ye come# not among these nations, these that remain# among you; neither make mention# of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear# by them , neither serve# them, nor bow# yourselves unto them:
			8	But cleave# unto the LORD your God, as ye have done# unto this day. [But cleave...: or, For if ye will cleave, etc]
			9	For the LORD hath driven out# from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand# before you unto this day. [For the LORD...: or, Then the LORD will drive]
			10	One man of you shall chase# a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth# for you, as he hath promised# you.
			11	Take good heed# therefore unto yourselves, that ye love# the LORD your God. [yourselves: Heb. your souls]
			12	Else if ye do in any wise# go back# , and cleave# unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain# among you, and shall make marriages# with them, and go in# unto them, and they to you:
			13	Know# for a certainty# that the LORD your God will no more# drive out# any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish# from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given# you.
			14	And, behold, this day I am going# the way of all the earth: and ye know# in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed# of all the good things which the LORD your God spake# concerning you; all are come to pass# unto you, and not one thing hath failed# thereof.
			15	Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come# upon you, which the LORD your God promised# you; so shall the LORD bring# upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed# you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given# you.
			16	When ye have transgressed# the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded# you, and have gone# and served# other gods, and bowed# yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled# against you, and ye shall perish# quickly from off the good land which he hath given# unto you.
