Joshua 7:7-9

The Voice

Joshua: ⁷ Why, Eternal One, our Lord? Why have you brought us across the Jordan if only to let the Amorites destroy us? It would have been better for us to settle on the other side of the Jordan! ⁸ Lord, how am I going to explain that our fighting men have had to run for their lives? ⁹ The people of Canaan, all the inhabitants of this land, will hear that we have been defeated. They’ll surround us and destroy us as a people forever, and then how will the world remember Your great name?
