Joshua 7:8-12
-
8 O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
-
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
-
10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
-
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
-
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
