Joshua 7:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And Joshua said, “Alas, O LORD God, why have you brought this people over the Jordan? To deliver us into the hand of the Amorites and to destroy us? If only we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan!

⁸ “Oh LORD, what shall I say when Israel turns their backs before their enemies?

⁹ “For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it and shall surround us and destroy our name out of the Earth. And what will You do for Your mighty Name?”
