And it came to pass a longH7227 timeH3117 afterH310 that the LORDH3068 had given restH5117 unto IsraelH3478 from all their enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, that JoshuaH3091 waxed oldH2204 and strickenH935 in ageH3117. {stricken…: Heb. come into days}
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all IsraelH3478, and for their eldersH2205, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860, and saidH559 unto them, I am oldH2204 and strickenH935 in ageH3117:
And ye have seenH7200 all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto all these nationsH1471 becauseH6440 of you; for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that hath foughtH3898 for you.
BeholdH7200, I have dividedH5307 unto you by lot these nationsH1471 that remainH7604, to be an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, from JordanH3383, with all the nationsH1471 that I have cut offH3772, even unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 westwardH3996+H8121. {westward: Heb. at the sunset}
And the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he shall expelH1920 them from beforeH6440 you, and driveH3423 them from out of your sightH6440; and ye shall possessH3423 their landH776, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath promisedH1696 unto you.
Be ye therefore veryH3966 courageousH2388 to keepH8104 and to doH6213 all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493 not aside therefrom to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040;
That ye comeH935 not among these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604 among you; neither make mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of their godsH430, nor cause to swearH7650 by them, neither serveH5647 them, nor bowH7812 yourselves unto them:
But cleaveH1692 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213 unto this dayH3117. {But cleave…: or, For if ye will cleave, etc}
For the LORDH3068 hath driven outH3423 from beforeH6440 you greatH1419 nationsH1471 and strongH6099: but as for you, no manH376 hath been able to standH5975 beforeH6440 you unto this dayH3117. {For the LORD…: or, Then the LORD will drive}
OneH259 manH376 of you shall chaseH7291 a thousandH505: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he it is that fightethH3898 for you, as he hath promisedH1696 you.
Take goodH3966 heedH8104 therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
When ye have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680 you, and have goneH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.

Take heedH8104 to thyself, lest thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 whither thou goestH935, lest it be for a snareH4170 in the midstH7130 of thee:
But ye shall destroyH5422 their altarsH4196, breakH7665 their imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 their grovesH842: {images: Heb. statues}

Lest thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and do sacrificeH2076 unto their godsH430, and one callH7121 thee, and thou eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077;
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
As for such as turn asideH5186 unto their crooked waysH6128, the LORDH3068 shall lead them forthH3212 with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205: but peaceH7965 shall be upon IsraelH3478.

Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evildoersH7489, childrenH1121 that are corruptersH7843: they have forsakenH5800+H853 the LORDH3068, they have provokedH5006+H853 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto angerH5006, they are gone awayH2114 backwardH268. {laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117, and would letH5414 him go no more homeH7725 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
But when the righteousH6662 turneth awayH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, and doethH6213 according to all the abominationsH8441 that the wickedH7563 man doethH6213, shall he liveH2425? All his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213 shall not be mentionedH2142: in his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604, and in his sinH2403 that he hath sinnedH2398, in them shall he dieH4191.
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
Now when these things were doneH3615, the princesH8269 cameH5066 to me, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, have not separatedH914 themselves from the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, doing according to their abominationsH8441, even of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the JebusitesH2983, the AmmonitesH5984, the MoabitesH4125, the EgyptiansH4713, and the AmoritesH567.
And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselves, and for their sonsH1121: so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148 themselves with the peopleH5971 of those landsH776: yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH5461 hath been chiefH7223 in this trespassH4604.
ThenG5119 goeth heG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 withG3326 himselfG1438 sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4191 than himselfG1438, andG2532 they enter inG1525 and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state of thatG1565 manG444 isG1096 worse thanG5501 the firstG4413. Even soG3779 shall it beG2071 alsoG2532 unto thisG5026 wickedG4190 generationG1074.
Which thou hast commandedH6680 byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, The landH776, unto which ye goH935 to possessH3423 it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, with their abominationsH8441, which have filledH4390 it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleannessH2932. {by: Heb. by the hand of} {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
FromG1537 thatG5127 time manyG4183 of hisG846 disciplesG3101 wentG565 backG1519+G3694, andG2532 walkedG4043 no moreG3765 withG3326 himG846.
Now therefore giveH5414 not your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, neither takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, nor seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their wealthH2896 forH5704 everH5769: that ye may be strongH2388, and eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH3423 to your childrenH1121 for everH5769.
NowG1161 the justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102: butG2532 ifG1437 any man draw backG5288, myG3450 soulG5590 shall haveG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106 inG1722 himG846.
In those daysH3117 also sawH7200 I JewsH3064 that had marriedH3427 wivesH802 of AshdodH796, of AmmonH5984, and of MoabH4125: {had…: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
And their childrenH1121 spakeH1696 halfH2677 in the speech of AshdodH797, and couldH5234 not speakH1696 in the Jews' languageH3066, but according to the languageH3956 of eachH5971 peopleH5971. {could…: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each…: Heb. of people and people}
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
ButG1161 weG2249 areG2070 notG3756 of them who draw backG5289 untoG1519 perditionG684; butG235 of them that believeG4102 toG1519 the savingG4047 of the soulG5590.
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG571?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
