Joshua 23:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷ Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them. ⁸ But you are to hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have until now.

⁹ ‘The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you.
