Jos Joshua, chapter Book of Joshua, chapter 23
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. Jdg 2:3; Num 33:55; Deu 7:4
