Joshua 7:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why are you down on your face? ¹¹ The Israelites have sinned; they have broken the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] I commanded them to obey. They took some of the ·things I commanded them to destroy [devoted things]. They have stolen and lied and have ·taken those things for themselves [^Lput them among their own belongings]. ¹² That is why the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] cannot ·face [stand before] their enemies. They ·turn away from the fight and run [fled/turned their backs before their enemies], because I have ·commanded that they be destroyed [devoted them for destruction]. I will not ·help [^Lbe with] you anymore unless you destroy ·everything as I commanded [the things devoted for destruction from among] you.
