Joshua 7:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing on your face? ¹¹ Israel has sinned. They have violated my covenant that I commanded them to observe. They have taken some of the dedicated things for themselves. They have stolen, they have lied, they have placed these things together with their own property. ¹² This is why the Israelites could not stand up to their enemies. They turned their backs and fled because they were under a curse. I will not be with you anymore unless you wipe out those who are cursed from your midst.
